Actually, I do have them on the boxes which do not have the raid controller. I have several boxes in hetzner. The ones that does not have any additional devices attached to the motherboard seem like not having the problem. However most of my machines have at least additional NIC device. Please note that my machines does not crash even when there is an interrupt storm. On the other hand, they suffer from some performance problems :/ The funny thing is that after reboot there's some silent period of time, when the interrupts are OK. After the systems becomes to be loaded more, the interrupt rate increases unless it reaches around 350k interrupt rate... I have tried to play with the BIOS settings, nothing really helped. > Because as I remember on MSI motherboard controller, I have no > problems with FreeBSD 6.2, but when I upgraded to FreeBSD 7.0 that > storms appeared, but not so often as with 3ware. > P.S.

I have tried to ask them to update the BIOS in the past, AFAIR they replied that the BIOS update is up to me... -- Best regards, Daniel mailto:danger@FreeBSD.org
