I had a motherboard die in a server on Sunday. It is running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE and the only hardware they had to replace it with was an Athlon64 CPU and a motherboard with an ATI chipset. With that board and 5.4, it will only boot in Safe Mode, but then the hard drives are running at very slow speeds. It completely locked up earlier today and they had to do a hard reboot (with no errors on the screen or in /var/log/messages). My plan was to have them fully upgrade the server tonight to a new box (with the same Athlon64 and mobo with ATI chipset since that's all they have), and do a fresh install of 6.1-RELEASE because a very similar board with the same chipset was reported to work in 6.0. Every machine I have or work on runs FreeBSD, but this is the only one that needs quotas because it runs cPanel for customers. I am not sure all the details about the problems with quotas, so will running 6.1-RELEASE with quotas cause problems for sure? If so, any suggestions on what to do given my situation? Would 6.0 be any better? I'd like to have the latest version because doing updates properly remotely is difficult, but if it is not going to work then I may have to use 6.0 if that will work or figure something else out hardware wise.
