This will not help much, but I can at least say that I have noticed your messages go by. Unfortunately I have no experience with any raid controllers under freebsd. If you made it successfully to the "Rebooting..." line, then I think it's at the point that freebsd has done everything it expected to do, and freebsd has told the hardware to reboot. I do not know why the hardware wouldn't reboot at that point. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
