Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org After an astounding 12 days of uptime (and I have no idea how long it was physically turned on) my Multia's internal hard drive has bitten the dust. I have removed the internal hard drive and attached another hard drive via the SCSI-II connector on the back. The problem I'm having is that the Multia doesn't really want to boot from this drive; it acts as if it is having bus time-outs. I have an external terminator on the drive, and it is connected by a 1.5 foot cable. Has anyone else experienced weird behavior by this system? Has anyone had any luck installing a bigger internal hard drive? PS: Cooling was not an issue. The basement is about ~70 degrees F day in and day out, and I've supplemented the Multia's single (thermostatically controlled) fan with another, regular fan. -- Kris Kirby | ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD...
