Many thanks, I was not aware of this package. I have had a quick peek and it looks to be accessing te offset registers directly, (which it warns about) but this should privide enough functionality to get my code to work. I will spend some time comparing the functionality of each. If there is anything missing in the xmbmon for via functions that I have, I will send patches to the author. It's better to have one package that can support multiple health chips. - mike > > -- > jmc > > MacroHard -- the perfection of form over > substance, marketing over > performance, and greed over > design . . .

Does anyone know of a real > company that [could|would|does] build[s] something similar? Hello There, For SMP, I always use tyan stuff. They have serverworks based boards. For scsi raid 10 (1+0), I use AMI MegaRAID 428's or 434's. I usually go with IBM scsi drives. I don't know of anybody that's piecemealing systems together, then leasing them. If I'm not building it, I'm a big fan of either the Dell Poweredge series of SMP machines, or the Compaq equivalent. The raid solutions in both are supported. I've had great success with the PowerEdge machines running FreeBSD doing mission critical stuff. Even an old 2300/400 does a great job. I don't know very much about IDE raid. I don't have good feelings about using IDE for anything important. Are you sure this has to be a raid 10? I'm a big fan of the raid 10, but I'm a bigger fan of raid 50 at the moment. With an AMI 4xx card, you can have a hot spare already there waiting in case of drive failure, and it will automatically rebuild itself. If you install sendmail on this machine, please consider doing everything you can to make sure it's not configured as an open relay. :) I get enough spam from singapore. I hope this helps. -- Best Regards, S.A.Wilson "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, or better' so I installed FreeBSD."

Specifically, we're looking at a Micro Star 694T PRO (MS-6309 v5.0), which uses the VIA 694X/694T (North-Bridge 510 BGA) and VT82C686B (South-Bridge 352 BGA) chips. According to VIA's website, that's called the Apollo Pro133A chipset. One of the guys here is into Linux, and he saw something go across one of the Linux mailing lists to the effect that certain versions of the Linux kernel don't work with certain VIA chipsets. Before we buy these systems, I need to know if FreeBSD will have any difficulty with this chipset. I really don't expect it to be a problem since ASUS is a recommended motherboard manufacturer for FreeBSD systems and they use VIA chipsets, but I'd really like to have an informed opinion before we buy these things. I attempted to sign on to this list yesterday, but my subscription had to go to the moderator (I used an address different from my normal return address), and he hasn't responded yet. We're a little short on time, so I can't afford to sit on this question any longer. So if you have an answer, please respond to me directly rather than just to the list. Many thanks, -- Donald L.

I don't know about the particular motherboard you're looking at, but VIA KT133/KT133A w/686B chipset motherboards can supposedly have issues with IDE data corruption (among other things), and, as far as I know, FreeBSD has no fixes for this (unlike Linux, I think). [ If anyone knows of FreeBSD fixes, I'd like to hear about them. ] Supposedly, the problem can be fixed in the BIOS, but I've only heard this as a rumor. You might want to verify that whatever you buy has the bug fixed. For some general (non-FreeBSD) information on the bug, check out: http://www.viahardware.com/686b_1.shtm http://www2.au-ja.de/review-kt133a-1-en.html You can also do a google groups search for "via chipset ide corruption". > I attempted to sign on to this list yesterday, but my subscription had to > go to the moderator (I used an address different from my normal return > address), and he hasn't responded yet.
