I've posted them online at: zeus.jtan.com/~reader/vu/disp.cgi If there is an Lsi 1068... what impact would that have on an `oi' install?

I've had the lid off laying with that info down... and never thought to look. Although I must have seen it when I took the cover off. One big problem is that I'm pretty confused about sata and sas. I did google up and wikipaedia up on it... but much of it went right over my head. What is the practical meaning in this case? Can a sata disc run on an SAS port? If not what runs on them? > I had very good luck running OI on an 8400 with 12 gb ram. OK, good news. If you have time, please take a look at the images at the site listed up above, and let me know what you can about what I'm seeing there _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
