(If I'm posting this wrong, kick me or something... I'm kinda new to this.. :) If it helps, the controller firmware is 2.70 (Latest I found on www.compaq.com). The config prog for both DOS and Alpha reports that this is the firmware version. I found an article on FreeBSD.org (http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/4-STABLE/installation/alpha/trouble.html#Q4 .3.21.), but I can't seem to find the place where I set the geometry mode, so I can't test this... :( Øystein -----Original Message----- From: Wilko Bulte [mailto:wkb@freebie.xs4all.nl] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 16:39 To: Andrew Gallatin Cc: Øystein Andreassen; freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG; msmith@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Problem with MyLex KZPAC PCI RAID controller On Wed, Apr 03, 2002 at 09:36:46AM -0500, Andrew Gallatin wrote: We used to have different firmware on the Mylex's for Intel and Alpha based servers.
