I found the solution... Of course it was teh "Full Table - Mapped" setting. My only excuse is that I discounted this as I heard of (a PR) someone with the same issue on almost identical hardware saying that these settings made no difference. For list completeness, make sure that the following settings are in bios. OS - Win2k (Others work too). APIC - "Full Table-Mapped" Also, in the ACU I found that the logical drive max boot partition needed to be set so that the drive geometry was within BSD's limits... 8Gb boot partition was the one I needed. The symptiom was not being able to label the whole drive... -D Time to see how fast this baby compiles world :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Danny Carroll" To: ; ; ; "Poul-Henning Kamp" Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2003 9:43 AM Subject: SMP Proliants and Smart2 Array controllers.
