It's has dual 2.8 xeon's with HT, 1 Gb ram, Seagate u320 73GB HD, Adaptec u320 scsi controller, its all new stuff. FreeBSD 5.3 and 5.4 install fine but then its trouble. It'll be running fine and I'll be doing whatever and then intermeantly it will kick out a bunch of junk(forgive me I didn't write it down) about scsi channel A timing out. After all that comes up in white, it'll go back to normal. Then a couple minutes later it repeats it self and so on. Now, I know the hardware is ok because I checked it and it came wired from the factory but most importantly, Debian Linux(sarge) works fine on it and whats installed now(2 weeks, no problems). I tried disabling HT support on both 5.3 and 5.4 but this doesn't help ( I didn't figure it would but I read something about bad things with HT and BSD 5.x). I would really like to get FreeBSD 5.x on there somehow cause I love BSD but for now I guess I'll settle for debian unless someone can uncover the mystery. Thanks. -- Jason
