Subject:   Compaq Proliant 2500 file corruptions
Message-ID:  <37FE2031.DF16E119@ix.netcom.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
My school has recently acquired a Compaq Proliant 2500 and we are trying

to set up FreeBSD on it.  I download the 3.3 kern and mfsroot disks and
replaced the kernel with a custom one that had the IDA driver included
in it.  Everything installed fine.  Then I started working on it again
and
whenever I'd cvsup or download ports the files would get corrupted.
Unfortunately I do not have the machine here, but it is a dual Pentium
Pro with 4.3 GB scsi disks, Thunderlan net card, and a ncr scsi
controller.

1. I was wondering if anyone knew of any such problems, or what other
info I could provide to help figure this out.
2. There are no panics or anything.  I can't seem to find an isolated
case to look at.  Anyone have any idea how I would go about debugging
this?
3.  Would I be better off running the newer driver in current?  I keep
tabs with whats going on in the current list, I just need a somewhat
stable machine.  It's only going to get light usage.

Thanks for any help.  Sorry this is so vauge.  I'd really like you to
get a dmesg.  Below is the kernel config....
