Adaptec

[nocturnal]

Hi

I have an update on that Adaptec problem. I hope this post ends up in 
the same thread, if not, this is the problem i'm talking about.

A dell tech has now updated the motherboard bios, replaced both the disk 
and the SCSI controller card. The problem still exists and i'm still 
installing FreeBSD 6.0-REALSE from the same cd as the other machine 
mentioned in the previous post. The Dell tech has now installed Windows 
just to show me that the windows driver works and sure enough it does 
work without any errors logged. I've been moving tons of data without it 
locking up or reporting any errors yet.

My next step is to try NetBSD and after that Linux because Dell uses 
Linux on their boot cd. I thought i should report this though because it 
could be a problem with the FreeBSD driver, even if it is a problem in 
the card that the Windows driver is able to bypass i think i should 
bring attention to it on the hardware list so that the proper maintainer 
may have a look at the problem.
