Re: FreeBSD shutting down unexpectedly

specs, but 35 C seems to be very harmless. That's even low enough that it won't hurt if you touch it. :-) All processors known to me can take temperatures well over 50 C. Some modern processors can even do more than 80 C without harm. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH

SATA PCI adapter recommendation

, a small question: I assume that all of those SATA controllers do have their own BIOS, so I can boot from them, right? It would be annoying to have to keep an old PATA disk in that box just to be able to boot. Thanks! Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co. KG, Marktplatz 29

Re: Gigabit Ethernet controller support (Intel 82563)

, we need to know what controller it is (e.g. vendor ID and product ID from pciconf -lv output). I think that the support for intel NICs is very good, thanks to Jack Vogel, so yours will probably work fine with either the em(4) or igb(4) driver. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix

Problem with SATA-600 (a.k.a. SATA 3) disk

that FreeBSD tries to use SATA-600, which fails because the external case doesn't support that. Is there a way to force FreeBSD to use SATA-300 only? I've searched the mailing lists, but without results. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567
