Ditto. Indeed, I wasn't aware you could do anything to a PCIe slot to prevent it working. Have seen motherboards which wont *boot* from an HBA in a PCIe slot, but never one which couldnt use the card when plugged in. I generaly use MSI boards, and all of tose have taken PCIe controllers quite hapily - inclduing booting off HP/Compaq SMART RAID controllers which do have a reputation for being fussy outside of HP machines. Am currently using a variets of Silicon Image based eSATA controllers on the same motherboards. -pete. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
