Linux works.. Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hardware@freeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I REALLY need help with this, our server is continually rebooting since we installed the AHA 2940UW controller and new UltraSCSI drive. It is not a heavilly loaded system, but it does run a database system that NEEDS to syncronize its database before shutting down. Every time this system reboots we loose critical data to the last backup. This is flat out unacceptable. I really like FreeBSD much more than Linux, but at this point others in the group are suggesting we move to Linux because they know this hardware works fine in Linux. In my experience I've never known a system to simply reboot when it was a hardware problem (generally if its a hardware problem it simply freezes up or does not work at all). This is working for two to three days when suddenly *wham* reboot. Help?? -Brandon Gillespie (If anybody responded before I appologize, I was not on this list so I did not see the replies).
