In both cases BIOS update fixed it. 1) DELL 1650 - FreeBSD did not want to installl, after BIOS udpate all went well 2) DELL R200 with SATA - no problems 2) DELL R200 with SAS, installed well, extremely scary message about HDD, after BIOS update, RAID controller BIOS udpate and RAID controller firmware udpate all went well BTW when the R200 scared me , I got a DELL diagniostic CD with FreeDOS and it did full system test. If you can get KVM over IP, have someone to put in the CD and 2 hours downtime is acceptable, it is good idea to run that CD on your machine. Peter
