Is there an onboard RAID controller or something that these Beeps pertain to? As I understand it, it's the RAID controller initialization - like when it gets power and fires up the CPU, etc - not the 'lets POST now and give audible beeps during messages' bit. This happened on the Intel Controllers that were based off of the ICP-Vortex design. My guess is you have an actual ICP controller and I'd expect it to behave the same way. There is of course an easy way to confirm this - remove the controller and see if the beeps go away.. ;) -Sam ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
