I have had some problems with the adapter in my news server. This is a list 
of the error messages so far today from midnight to midday.

After a while, the machine locks up completely and has to be rebooted, 
although sometimes it does it of its own free will.
I have two FreeBSD servers, the other is identical apart from the SCSI 
controller is not PCI UW. I can thereofre only assume that is the cause 
of the trouble. Any thoughts from anyone would be appreciated.
