Downgraded the bios to 1.32d on this particular 5501 and the problems still occur:
#1 - "MII without any phy!" in all vr interfaces; same CF (SiliconDrive CF SSD-C01G-3550) on other 5501's (1.32d) will work fine; I can't say if the problem occurred before the upgrade to 1.32h since this 5501 wasn't in use. #2 - the box won't boot off a SanDisk 512Mb; it takes a few seconds to probe and then it won't boot off of it (sequence is 80 81 F0 FF); this same SanDisk 512 will boot other 5501's (only tried with 1.32d); this box will boot off the above mentioned SiliconDrive CF. Both CFs have same OS image (day-old FBSD6.2-STABLE) #3 - somebody had mentioned some CFs showing up as ad0 and ad1; The other 5501 where these flashes boot, will show the SanDisk as ad0, whereas when booted off the SiliconDrive CF, ad1. Not sure if some/all pertains to your BIOS update but I would welcome your input about these issues. Thanks. ervin wrote: > I don't think so ...
