Hello Family,

I have a dual-boot box running FreeBSD-6.1 and SuSE-10.0 and I "had"
a SCSI HP-9100 CDRW and took it out to put in a CD/DVD drive.

I have three drives and a Plextor CD-RW/DVD-RW drive so all my
controllers were used so I grabbed a Promise controller.

########################################################

Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20268 (Ultra100 TX2) (rev 02) 
(prog-if 85) Subsystem: Promise Technology, Inc. Ultra100TX2

########################################################

The first setup (SCSI HP-9100) worked on both OS's but now with the
Promise card, only SuSE-10.0 works.

If I boot into FreeBSD-6.1 the system lasts only about 4 to 5
minutes then completely crashes, zilch, nothing.

FreeBSD was my default OS on that box and I'm wondering if there is
any kernel flags/options that I can load real quick to get the box
stable enough to see what has gone wrong.

Once again I know the controller is fine, used it before on other
boxes and it's been running fine and I've been using the CD/DVD
drive hanging off the controller all last night and today.

TIA
