(requires a hard reset) In trying to diagnose the problem I noticed the kernel recognises it as a=20 12 channel controller (albiet from the 7000 series): =2D=3D- % grep twe /var/run/dmesg.boot twe0: <3ware 7000 series Storage Controller. Driver version 1.50.00.000>=20 port 0x8c00-0x8c0f mem 0xfb800000-0xfbffffff,0xfc7ffc00-0xfc7ffc0f irq=20 29 at device 1.0 on pci1 twe0: 12 ports, Firmware FE7S 1.05.00.063, BIOS BE7X 1.08.00.048 =2D=3D- When we took delivery of the system late last year, the 12 channel=20 version of the 8506 card was so new you had to run 5.2-RC2 to get a=20 version of the twe driver to support it. Have there been changes to the=20 driver since then to better support this card? (Of course the problem may be elsewhere, the MB, CPU(s), memory... The=20 joys of HW debugging) Side note I have noticed that I can install 5.2.1=20 on the box and update to the latest patch level, but subequent 'make=20 buildworld's usually dies randomly on a signal 4 error.
