BIOS has an option of "PCI IRQs to IO-APIC Mapping" (enabled/disabled) I didn't see anything else relating to APIC, or APCI(?) I set that to disabled. No luck, Then I left it disabled and tried = install w/o apic, still no luck. Then I ran with logging and have the following messages on screen after the Waiting 15 seconds.... ------------------------ (noperiph:sym0:0:-1:-1):SCSI BUS reset delivered (noperiph:sym0:0:-1:-1):SCSI BUS reset delivered [0] f:80 typ:6 s(CHS):0/1/1 e(CHS):749/127/32 s:32 l:3071968 [1] f:00 typ:101 s(CHS):750/0/1 e(CHS):1022/127/32 s:3072000 l:8212480 [2] f:00 typ:0 s(CHS):0/0/0 e(CHS):0/0/0 s:0 l:0 [3] f:00 typ:0 s(CHS):0/0/0 e(CHS):0/0/0 s:0 l:0 GEOM Configure mlxd0s1, start 16384 length 1572847616 end 1572863999 GEOM Configure mlxd0s2, start 1572864000 length 4204789760 end = 5777653759 ------------------------- I know the RAID works, I ran through enough of the Netware6 install for = it to be ready to partition the drives without any problem.=20 I can't really try the card in another slot, its being used as a zero channel raid card for the onboard scsi. I followed the instructions on = bios settings from intel's site (it's a NA440bx MB 512MB ram, dual P3-600s, = no other drive adapters, CD runs off built-in IDE) During the SCSI card = bootup it reports being at BUS 0, slot 12, irq 11 I'll be glad to provide any other information that might help figure = this out. Thanks, Mike
