With a 64k d_maxio, you'll never see | more than 9 segments. | | Sorry about this. I'm just glad I found the problem for you. I'd like to get this server built using this DAC sooner rather than later, and it's likely I can get 3.x firmware from Mylex before you'll update the driver (no offense meant). If there's a ghost of a chance you might have a fix you want tested completed before this time next week, let me know and I'll hold off installing 3.x chips to test the fix -- an install, full CVS update, and a make world ought to be a decent test? I could probably do something I have two other DAC960s, but they both suffer from the ""couldn't allocate mailbox window" problem you're also working on, so they might not be decent test subjects unless you want to try to fix both problems at once. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
