Hey All,
I have a machine, Tyan Tiger motherboard, dual 733's with the promise ATA100
raid controller built on. I'm using this in a setup with 2 40Gb Western Digital drives
in a Raid 0 (mirrored) config. I set the machine up a while ago, so it's running
FreeBSD 4.3-BETA (it was the newest version on the cvs tree).
So, with that aside, I'm having these bad bad problems, where any big writes/read
to the disks, are causing the machine to panic and reboot. Nothing logged, no errors
just reboots. For example, I tried tar'ing up a 300(ish) meg directory yesterday, and
it worked for about ~100 megs, then it rebooted. I thought maybe it had something
to do with the fact I had softupdates enabled (softupdates with the raid??).. so I
tried disabling that, with no change.
Now, a friend of mine has the identical board, setup in the same config (with
Quantum drives), but is running 4.4-RC.
Does anybody know if there are any issues with FreeBSD 4.3-BETA and the
promise controllers? (I'm just assuming that it is the controller, I could be
completely wrong though).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mike
