This probably has to do with loader(8) fixes within the past few weeks, specifically with regards to interrupts. I can point you to the commit if need be. > BTW: As I wrote you some weeks ago, I wanted to buy a HighPoint RocketRAID > 3120 card, run some benchmarks under FreeBSD and tell you the results.

The 3120 card is supported by the hptiop(4) driver. If you're having problems with it, you should report the problem to Highpoint directly. They write the driver themselves, but gets someone with src commit bits to commit the code for them. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
