A customer is trying to get a brand new HP DL 180 to work with FreeBSD.
We tried 7.0-RELEASE-amd64 and the March 7-STABLE-amd64 snapshot, none

I don't have the entire picture, since I haven't tried installing myself,
the machine is 700 km away, but it is an experienced sysadmin doing the
installation. After install, which seemingly works, although the console
is complaining about IRQ 10 problems (can't say exactly what it complains
about), reboot to the fresh install does not work, the machine apparently
scrolls away a great number of complaints about IRQ 10.
He tried turning off USB, serial and other stuff in BIOS, but it didn't
help.
He tried Red Hat, and it works perfectly, so my guess is there is
something with a FreeBSD driver, dunno for sure which one.
sorry I can't be more specific. Has anyone else succeeded in installing
FreeBSD 7.0 on HP DL180? (that is 180, not 380, which I know works fine).
Thanks for any input.
I had a bizarre IRQ storm on IRQ 10 for a DL 180 (or 185?) recently that
I didn't fully figure out. The box had two bge(4) interfaces and if I
manually disabled the driver for either one (didn't matter which one)
the IRQ storm went away. I haven't been able to chase it down further,
but it doesn't act like a normal IRQ storm (the storm should have
"stayed" with a given device).
How did you disable the driver for one of the interfaces?
