> WOW, that surprises me.  We have been running DPT with FreeBSD 2.2 since the drivers have been released (as well as Linux and ::ducking:: NT), and they have been rock solid.  Out our curiosity, What models of the controllers are you using?  Are you usin
g DPT ECC or standard parity RAM?  What version of FreeBSD?

as far as i remember standard parity RAM.

model number, i forget it was just as I was coming aboard with the company
and the previous admin had tried contact with Simon but I don't think
he got any responce.
