Well, I appreciate the humor, but trust me when I say that non-functioning FreeBSD systems are no joke to us! :-) Did any previous release of FreeBSD work on this hardware? Some changes were made to the Adaptec 2940 driver to in order to deal with performance issues with the newer drives which support tagged queueing and other nice features we weren't taking full advantage of. Now that we do, however, it appears that some previously working systems are now falling over. Cal you tell us a little more about this system and its attached drives, keeping Justin Gibbs on the Cc line? Thanks! Maybe we can figure out what broke and release a patch to 2.1.7. Jordan
