Re: 9650SE-2LP raid card locks system

2011-01-08 Thread Troy Beisigl
We are using 7.  We see this in 8 as well. We see it on dual and quad core 
CPUs. I'm currently testing out another motherboard (different model) to see 
how it performs. Should know something by the end of the coming week.

I saw this on an i7 box running RELENG_6, but moving to 7 made all quite

Well, it did lock up today. There is no way to do anything on the console. The 
entire machine is locked hard. The errors on the console show:

So far, no. It just happens. The system is not that loaded. It runs 2

If the card is not supported, can anyone recommend one that does
