Sure enough, -CURRENT loaded without a problem, except I couldn't get a SMP alpha to work until DP2 was out, and, I have not had the time to load DP2 onto a 5305 yet. Oh, and one more thing that I could not get working was the onboard NIC on that SCSI card. Just wouldn't see the network, so I loaded a DE500 and that worked for me. Maybe DP2 fixed that as well. Good luck, AJ -----Original Message----- From: oliver [mailto:opml@terraflux.com]=20 Sent: Sunday, December 08, 2002 7:46 PM To: Sten Cc: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org Subject: Re: AlphaServer1200 (5305), FBSD4.7 and Symbios53C875 Sten, I tried the different slot trick already, but no luck. The scsi cables appear fine, and the read and write test on the srm console works a-ok. The controller (and Server) were used for Windows 2000/alpha before, and I was wondering if I need to disable the controller bios, if any present? Or should this just work, regardless..?
