It's not just the SCSI!!

We installed a new OpenBSD server using a Tyan motherboard and the whole 
thing was doing a hard-crash (!!) whenever I'd upload files to it.  (No 
SCSI used at all.)

Turns out it was super-picky about exactly what kind of RAM you use with 
it, even though I was using regular stock 256meg PC133 ECC ram.

We replaced the motherboard with an Intel and it's worked perfectly.
