The first thing I did was flash the P2B BIOS to rev 1008 (Feb-1999), to see if the problem may have been with the on-board controller. Same result. Pulled the drive, jumpered it to run in SE mode, and viola, it worked: 3.1-RELEASE installed and the system is very, very fast. I'll check -STABLE to see if it improves the situation, and try it again in LVD mode. If I can't get max throughput on the drive for now, that's okay, too. -joshua --- Joshua Ellis - Kimberly-Clark Internet/Intranet/Notes Services email: ellis@kcc.com * phone: 920/721-2779 * fax: 920/721-6180 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
