Anything more than 2 controllers and the additional controllers seem to refuse to do anything other than PIO4 (although they detect at UDMA100). The cards appear fine (if I swap cards, it's always the last one that fails). Rearranging the cards in the PCI slots does no good. Promise Technologies was remarkably unhelpful stating that they only support 1 Promise controller in a system. Does anybody on this list have any experiance getting 3 or more promise controllers working? I remember seeing a flag in Linux for some sort of "burst" mode, but I havn't been able to find anything similar in FreeBSD. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
