My apologies, I now understand its a hardware issue. Before you toss the 3ware completely try the following (although I am sure you have) 1. Force PCI-x 64bit in the bios on the slot 2. Disable APIC or force old APIC mode 3. Disable onboard raid and/or SATA controller if its avail. My experience with some boards you really have to tweak around to get pci-x going. Sorry if I've wasted your time ! -Greg _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
