I also installed Red Hat 7 on the primary controller, as it did not support the UDMA 66 controller. I now have 4.2 Stable and Red Hat Public Beta installed on the drive connected to the Promise controller. Sounds to me like something is a little strange with your hard drive or the BIOS setup. -- Derek Tattersall dlt@mebtel.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
