I have not been able to get make -j2 buildworld to work for 6.0 at
all. Last I recall it working reliably was with 4.x.

A couple of weeks ago I made a CD of the last RC before release of

You definitely want something Opteron based for this kind

I'd recommend running the Dell diags. They're pretty good at picking

Ok, lemmie just point out that I'm already running 6.0, just to

So you were not truthful about running a 386...
What I'm curious about is weather or not 6.0R's zero copy sockets
are considered stable or not.

Is there something I'm missing with regards to ACPI on the AMD64

I have one piece of dell equipment which insists on disabling ACPI

Thank you for your response. It seems unlikely that it is the power

I have just built a new SunFire X4100 server with an Adaptec 2230SLP
RAID card using FreeBSD 6.2-PRE kernel (from September 20).
Everything is working extremely well except I cannot run the aaccli

Does anyone have any hints on monitoring adaptec RAID's (particularly
aac devices such as 2230SLP) on FreeBSD 6.2/amd64? I don't need to

any.

If it has the newer firmware, it will not work with aaccli. If you
