Whenever I try to populate both of the bottom two slots, FreeBSD crash dumps on boot. I have tried this with a variety of cards over the years, but I always have the same results. Is this a FreeBSD problem, a motherboard problem, or a problem with the PCI cards? Recently I realized that I really need 6 PCI cards in the box (5 ATA controllers and 1 NIC). Right now it's semi-crippled with just the 4 cards (3 ATA controllers with some drives on slaves and 1 NIC), and I was thinking about upgrading to a Tyan Trinity 400. Will I not be able to populate this board beyond 4 cards? -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
