This not the sym driver's fault; rather it is due to the hacky way 4.x deals with multiple PCI hoses (hose is DEQ term for "peer bus"). The failure mode usually involves lots of warnings from the driver about various sanity checks failing. The only suggestion I can make is to try the FreeBSD 5.0 Developer Preview #1. 5.0 has better support for the multiple hoses used in server class machines. As an added bonus, you'll get SMP support. See http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/DP1/announce.html for a list of mirror sites, etc. Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
