All conflicts were removed during the configuration stage. I've tried with a single SCSI disk to remove ID duplication possibilities. As for termination, I've tried 4 SCSI drives, each of which I think I've terminated properly. The card is a loaner and worked previously. So unless there's another idea, I'll start suspecting termination. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.freebsddiary.org/ NZ ADSL - http://www.unixathome.org/adsl/ NZ Broadband - http://www.unixathome.org/broadband/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
