It has two 3.2 Xeon processors, 2G of ECC memory, and a Dell CERC SATA RAID controller with two 160G Maxtor drives in a RAID 1 mirror. The Dell CERC appears to be an Adaptec RAID controller, and it is detected by the aac driver. I donwloaded the ISO for FreeBSD 6.0 i386 and installed it tonight. So far, so good. I rebuilt the RELEASE kernel with SMP options. So far, so good. I synced to 6-STABLE, made world, recompiled the SMP kernel. Now when I reboot I get to the detection of the RAID controller and my screen is scrolling with the following errors: aac0: COMMAND 0xc6588000 TIMEOUT AFTER 559 SECONDS aac0: COMMAND 0xc6588000 TIMEOUT AFTER 579 SECONDS aac0: COMMAND 0xc6588000 TIMEOUT AFTER 599 SECONDS Has anyone else encountered this problem? What do I need to do to fix it? -Chris ps. Manually loading kernel.old at boot works, so I assume it is some bit of new driver foo.
