Can you expand on "crashes"? We only have 1GB in the machine here, so obviously we haven't seen this one. It'd probably be fairly straightforward to track it down once we know what's going on. > 2) The onboard Symbios (NCR) 53C896 scsi doesn't seem to be recognized.

My gut feeling is that there's something sized wrongly here; If Micron had come through with the SC450NX for wcarchive, I'd expect that David would have run into this by now; you might want to take it up with him directly. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
