RE: 5.4-rel Bootloader Wedgie on Supermicro 5013C-MT

2005-09-09 Thread Chris St Denis
I think I've had this problem with a similar supermicro system. 
The solution for me was to turn off the onboard ide raid controller. 

I see SCSI in those server specs. If you are using all SCSI try disabeling
all the ata and sata in the bios. Also, try turning off raid features of the
SCSI if you can (If you need to, you can always fall back to gmirror or
something).

So, does anyone have any ideas?  Does someone need a Supermicro
5013C-MT to play with?  Who should I submit a bug report to?

The box doesn't come with a floppy drive.  The space where the floppy
would be has two usb ports and a serial port.  The box does support
bios serial booting.  I did do a standard install on another box and
then moved the drive to the supermicro box... it hung at the daemond
screen.

Correct.  The boot selection screen locks and gets jumbled when
booting from the
5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso disk.

the Supermicro SuperServer 5013C-MT.  Is anyone working on this issue?
 Is there a developer that needs hardware to test on?
