quite possible.  when i first bought this box, a dell pe800, the NIC  
was not recognized by FreeBSD 5.3.  With some pciconf info and help  
from the stable@ list, we were able to have freebsd recognize the  
chipset and it seemed to work ok.  network performance was never  
stellar.  overall this machine feels much slower than it should be,  
but it is hard to tell whether that is caused by the network or the  
disk.  i suspected the disk.

anyhow, it was upgraded to FreeBSD 5.4, then to 6.0 (at which point i  
had to disable ACPI timer or it would lock during boot probing some  
devices).

ok.  i'll try my usual level 0 dump.  that often causes the ffs to  
totally lock that partition.  i may have multiple issues going on  
here :-(
