I'm having some issues with three separate SuperMicro 6022c SuperServers. Random reboots, sig 11's in /var/log/messages (most of the coming from ident2), sig 11's when trying to buildworld (rare but it has happened), etc. They all have the same hardware configuration: * SuperMicro 6022c w/ SUPER P4DC6+ motherboard and Integrated Adaptec AIC-7899W dual channel U160 SCSI controller. * Dual Pentium Xeon 2.0 GHz processors. * Integrated Intel 82559 LAN controller. * Quantum Atlas 10k III 18GB U160 SCSI drive. * 2GB of PC800 RDRAM ram (512meg sticks x 4). Here's what I've done: * Swapped power supplies between boxes. * Backed off to 1GB of RAM. * Removed one processor. * Swapped RAM between boxes. * Reinstalled FreeBSD (numerous times). * Installed WinXP *shiver* and ran some hardware diagnostic software (passed every time). * Tried a different brand of RAM. So after trying everything above and coming to the conclusion that SuperMicro products just suck, I give them a call and try to get more ideas and the tech tells me he doesn't think they are compatible with FreeBSD and I should try running RedHat 7.3, which is of course a non option :-) Does anyone else use these boxes with FreeBSD and have luck with them, or are SuperMicro and FreeBSD not compatible? Does anyone else use FreeBSD and Dual Xeons, or is that too bleeding edge? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks in advance, - C.J.
