I'm running FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 on a couple of 405 Mbyte IDE drives (my DNS, e-mail, print server and Samba server) and wanted to run INN. No problem, except disk space. So I grab a 2 Gig SCSI off of my HP-710, borrow a known good Adaptec 1542B and using all default jumper settings, install it. I re-config-ed my kernal, disklabeled and newfs-ed but when I tar-ed /usr onto it I started seeing various error messages (like lost interrupts on wd0/wd1 and possibly something about DMA for the Adaptec) then panic and reboot. My question is: I know FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 will run from IDE *or* SCSI but will it run *both* at the same time? Or should I look for IRQ conflicts/DMA conflicts/hardware problems? If 1.1.5.1 will run both, I'll go back and try again to get the exact text of the error message (possibly over the holiday break). I'm asking here in the newsgroups since support of 1.1.5.1 is probably not a priority for the Core team. P.S. I've got 2.0R on my personal machine and it is BEAUTIFUL! Great work. But for my "production" machine, I'm kinda careful and I'll wait for 2.1. And time to re-install imap, inn, samba, httpd, etc, etc, etc... Regards, Steve Schossow <ss@tisc.com>
