OK, on the PERC2/SC and LINUX with the firmware from Dell (3.00), it pukes with Redhat LINUX. I am able to talk to the card, fdisk and newfs it, but it crashes hard when you write to the partition. I am going to try and reflash the card to the latest AMI BIOS and see what happens. ---Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
