The first card could have been slightly fried; it came back up after a reboot, and would kernel panic again within a few days. Since I had what I thought was a good second card I never bothered to test the first one thoroughly. After the second card ate the array I bailed on the old cards completely; had the 9650 been easy to obtain I would have, but it was pretty much EOL by then. The 9650 that died last month refused to be recognized on cold boot, so I think it's totally gone. It's old enough that it's not worth my time trying to figure out whether it's revivable. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us
