Otherwise you will get "wedged I/O controller" errors...in my case, during cvsup, during build world, during build kernel...during install of 4.0(pre-stable).... i hosed a poweredge 4400 because of that card (and the resulting fsks due to the above error) and had to use 4.1-RC snapshot to get it working...not good in a production environment...on the bright side though...no major problems since. dan d_jab@anonymous-daemon.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
