Hey All,

I have a machine, Tyan Tiger motherboard, dual = 733's=20 with the promise ATA100

raid controller built on. I'm using this in a setup with 2 40Gb = Western=20 Digital drives

in a Raid 0 (mirrored) config. I set the machine up a while ago, so = it's=20 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,=20 where any big writes/read

to the disks, are causing the machine to panic and reboot. Nothing = logged,=20 no errors

just reboots. For example, I tried tar'ing up a 300(ish) meg = directory=20 yesterday, and

it worked for about ~100 megs, then it rebooted. I thought maybe it = had=20 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=20 the same config (with

Quantum drives), but is running 4.4-RC.

Does anybody know if there are any issues with = FreeBSD=20 4.3-BETA and the

promise controllers? (I'm just assuming that it is the controller, = I could=20 be

completely wrong though).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mike
