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....
