My school has recently acquired a Compaq Proliant 2500 and we are trying
to set up FreeBSD on it. I download the 3.3 kern and mfsroot disks and
replaced the kernel with a custom one that had the IDA driver included
in it. Everything installed fine. Then I started working on it again
and
whenever I'd cvsup or download ports the files would get corrupted.
Unfortunately I do not have the machine here, but it is a dual Pentium
Pro with 4.3 GB scsi disks, Thunderlan net card, and a ncr scsi
controller.
1. I was wondering if anyone knew of any such problems, or what other
info I could provide to help figure this out.
2. There are no panics or anything. I can't seem to find an isolated
case to look at. Anyone have any idea how I would go about debugging
this?
3. Would I be better off running the newer driver in current? I keep
tabs with whats going on in the current list, I just need a somewhat
stable machine. It's only going to get light usage.
Thanks for any help. Sorry this is so vauge. I'd really like you to
get a dmesg. Below is the kernel config....
