I'm assuming that you aren't a regular member of this list, before anyone can help you we need the following: 1) What version of FreeBSD are you running? (uname -a) 2) What EXACT model of Dell server are you working with here? (The words "Oh hell its a Dell" come to mind) 3) We need a hardware spec. dump from this machine. (dmesg) 4) Mail me off list I'm in Sandton and might be able to help. Note: Logging a "fault" on the website will liably get you no response without items 1 -> 3. FreeBSD, much like most OpenSource UNIX-like OSs, is not a commercial product and you are not a paying customer, therefor you need to take part in the community when things like this happen. PS: I'm not trying to be confrontational, even if I looks like I might be, just trying to make any further activities on this list as enjoyable and productive as possible for you.
