Yes, 6128.

I've upgraded the BIOS to v2.00 same as betadrive. However, using the exact same BIOS settings as betadrive causes the SATA controllers and onboard igb(4) interfaces to not be detected. At all. Nothing in dmesg or pciconf. Resetting BIOS settings to "Failsafe settings" shows the SATA controllers and onboard NICs. Now the fun begins to figure out which setting in the BIOS is causing this. I'm starting to lean toward a hardware issue with either the CPU (since most of the chipset is in the CPU nowadays) or the motherboard. Have a few more tests to run to try and narrow things down. > Is it possible that you might have touched any hardware just before the u= pgrade? I had few cases an old system "die" on me when doing "minor" cleani= ng etc just before an update=E2=80=A6 We bumped the RAM from 8 GB to 24 GB mid-December, to better support dedupe. Was running fine with the extra RAM. Other than that, the hardware has not been touched since it was first installed. And it's been sitting in the server room since July 2011. --=20 Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
