Otherwise I shall have to move to Linux, and golly -- I just perfer FreeBSD. I'm on some IBM blades, (which use the ServerWorks CSB6 and SiI 0680 chips,) and have a single Intel P4 as the main CPU processor. I'm running FBSD 6.1. After some detective work, it seems that the FreeBSD ATA (or IDE disk driver) may have been having problems, so I jotted down the specific Chipset we have in blades 1-5 and proceeded to investigate... The chipsets we have are: SiI 0680 and ServerWorks CSB6. There are 2 chipsets and what is happening is that the Primary IDE channel or Channel 0 is the SiI (Silicon Image) and the secondary channel or Channel 1 is the Serverworks, which explains why 3 of the blades are running as UDMA100 instead of UDMA133 Here's the notification note fr Mar06 telling us taht we have "buggy" chipsets, both of which are listed by name: http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.hardware/browse_frm/thread/e89378cb8690f2d7/8ea5bfc25b9ab90a?lnk=st&q=Serverworks+CSB6+group%3A*freebsd*&rnum=34&hl=en#8ea5bfc25b9ab90a
