Hi,

I have a smallish problem, got a backup server with ASUS PC-DL motherboard that doesn't have a 64 bit pci slot
and a 3ware 9500S-8 card. The machine resets the controller every now and then, but when there's enough disk
io when it tries to do that the machine crashes.

console warnings:

twa0: INFO: (0x04: 0x000c): : unit=0

And on the risk of sounding stupid, doesn't this "64bit+" mean that freebsd is using it "with 64 bit" support?
And if it indeed does, is there any way to force it off?

If there isn't a simple solution, were just getting a motherboard with 64bit pci slot.

Thanks
