For some reason, it didnt like writing a bunch of small directories and files (installing /usr/ports). It would pass the error and reboot. I tried 3 different cpu's on 2 different motherboards. 3 different RAM modules. If anyone has had any experience with these controllers, and has any idea where to go, I would certainly appreciate it. I hate to write off the card as toast.. Thank you, Gable
