Or, is the problem with some other component of the OS? Yes- this is related to the Xp1000 port, not the Sym driver. And, no, I don't know whether it's been fixed. It doesn't really matter, though, because insofar as I know, the XP1000 doesn't have an onboard SYM- it has a Qlogic ISP chip. But you don't have to attach to that (which does, btw, have problems in FreeBSD 4.0 that are still not quite resolved). You can use the onboard IDE connections or blow one of your PCI slots for either a Sym or another Qlogic card. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
