I have two heavily used servers working great on the BP6. Standard configuration SMP and using the BX chipset's UDMA EIDE. I'm not using the onboard HPT366 controller either. Perhaps thats a main cause of people's problems. I did have one issue of funckiness. A 12/24 SCSI DAT drive tended to lose the ability to eject the tape without rebooting on this machine. Don't know if it was a board problem, drive problem, scsi problem, driver problem, or a weird combination. That tape has since been moved over to a FreeBSD 4.0 separate backup server. And on there, different hardware, the drive works correctly most of the time occassionally though rarely the drive appears to die off, unusable in the system, until the machine is completely powered off and then rebooted. Because of this I am still uncertain whether the original problems were due to the board or the tape drive.
