I am by no means an expert on RAID, 3ware cards, harddrive, even FreeBSD. However, I have had experience with motherboards and can relay MANY experiences with VIA chipsets. While I have never seen a complaint like this before, VIA chipsets stick in my mind when it comes to anything RAID. If you have ANY complaint Intel chipset-based system on hand that can run that 3ware card, please try it. Being a moderator at the hardforum.com I've seen many people tear their hair out over the weirdest hardware issues and conflicts - especially with VIA hardware. It is my beleif that this is where you problem lies. Its slim, it sounds weird, but I'm sure you have an intel chipset-based box lying around you can at least test it on. Good Luck, - aaron --------------------------------------------- click46[wp] - AIM the click46 - ICQ 43450396 webpimps.net | bsdatwork.com | nerdserve.net moderator - o/c cooling forum @ hardforum.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
