It had some issues with the case (my new PCI ethernet cards would not seat correctly in the case). It was running FreeBSD up until the big ATA driver changes, at which point it started to panic on boot, so I switched to OpenBSD. My question is, before I toss the board, PS, proc and memory in the trash, would anyone involved with ATA driver development want this stuff? At the time I offered up access to the box via ssh or ssh/serial console, but there were no takers. The problem with the ATA controller (a UMC chip) and seems limited to FreeBSD. Any interested parties may contact me directly. Feel free to forward this to anyone that might be interested but is not on -stable. Thanks, Charles -- Charles Sprickman spork@inch.com
