Network Hanging w/ 2940UW and 2.1.7.1 In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I had a very similar problem with a 2940W (UW?) and 2.1.7.1. I was using a SeaGate Barracuda 2.1G drive and added a Quantum 4.1G Drive. It would install, but as soon as the machine got up and running and the drive really got used it would lock up and die. I ended up replacing the drive with another Seagate 4.1G drive and have lived happily ever after. Its still on 2.1.7.1. Christopher J.
