Hey, I've only just looked at this, but i have a Proliant 2500R, its old but its working :) Now i find when i rip out a drive from my RAID5 (5 actual disks) array i get the soft error in the console lots of them... when i put the drive back it builds the drive back up and continues to carry on without the drive and with the drive, no halts or any temp halts nothing.. it just carrys on. The card i have mine on was some funky full length PCI thing, its running FreeBSD 5.3 and is running perfect and has been for ages... ida0@pci2:0:0: class=0x018000 card=0x40300e11 chip=0xae100e11 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Compaq Computer Corp (Now owned by Hewlett-Packard)' device = 'Smart-2 Array Controller' class = mass storage I have before run linux on this machine and have never seen any of the soft errors.. so i dont know if this is just a FreeBSD thing, but i can tell you my drives are working perfectly well :) and it rebuilds fine... all i get is some of them errors logged in the console. So hope this helps you find out what might be causing theses errors. See ya Grant. PS = I do still have the onboard scsi enabled and am using it for a CDRW drive.
