I've done this: da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da1: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device The results are that the system still has the same problems: Works fine with a UP kernel, hangs/errors with a SMP kernel.

" The other issues I'm seeing, with the em0 watchdog timeouts, are mentioned as a bug in 4.8-R here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2003-April/000551.html I'll try this workaround shortly. Further update: Since the above, I rebooted the system again...and for the first time I have a running SMP system. Still seeing the em0 timeouts, I'm going to try the workaround. ...david --- david raistrick drais@atlasta.net http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
