Hi Mike,

We are running the latest firmware. We upgraded to it in case this was the i=
ssue. As you can see from the log entry below, it shows the file system was =
not shut down cleanly because it was locked and had to be powered off. We ar=
e using Intel motherboards, so maybe something with FreeBSD and this card wi=
th the Intel motherboard? I know that this card works just fine with this bo=
ard on CentOS, so...
