Re: FreeBSD support for HP DL180/G5
HP produces pretty good boxes and historically I have been able to get them working without any troubles. However I would say DL180 is a pretty non customizable box. The hardware works perfectly with FreeBSD 7.0. I didnt try it with 6.3, so cant comment on that. However I would say DL380 is a better off. The main advantage of DL3xx boxes are there is a lot of room to play with add-on cards. Also not all the latest and greatest processors are available with DL1xx family of servers. Also make sure that you go for an external RAID controller like 3ware or Areca. I prefer Areca more :-D. The HP RAID controller cant take the beating I give to it.

Judging by the SX label and the information on the page, no, because it doesn't have a FPU. I'm surprised they claim Linux compatability since I thought Linux required an FPU as well. FreeBSD 4.X supports these with the kernel option MATH_EMULATE or GPL_MATH_EMULATE Later versions of FreeBSD got rid of that option. NetBSD 4 still has MATH_EMULATE but it's buggy. There was a discussion last month on the NetBSD mailing list about whether it would be a good thing to fix it. You could, possibly, recompile FreeBSD (or more likely, picobsd, see man picobsd for information) with the -msoft-float option to gcc to build a version that would not require a FPU. But you still need an emulator that would supply the floating point operations. gcc includes (or included) a generic implementation of these functions in dp-bit.c and fp-bit.c. Of course, it would be under the GPL. Or you could get the FreeBSD 4.11 source and dig up the ancient emulator that was under the BSD license and use that. Here's a thread fragment I found that discusses the process with regards to building libgcc http://www.busybox.net/lists/uclibc/2002-May/003404.html Good luck - some things are better off left dead, the non-FPU cpus were one of these things.

I guess I am interested in finding out if there is support that is offered by the FreeBSD project, not from third party vendors. Basically FreeBSD support is what you see on the web page. In some sense, you could say that all of FreeBSD- development and support - is by third party sources or maybe that all third party contributers are part of the FreeBSD project at some level. In other words, development in FreeBSD land comes from those who use it to provide services - of any kind including supporting other's use of it for hire. But, no, the FreeBSD project per se does not offer commercial support. jerry On 10/6/05, Kevin Kinsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ansar Mohammed wrote: Does the FreeBSD project offer commercial support?

If you require commercial support I'd like to think there is a commercial entity that can lease such an option to you. The FreeBSD foundation hasn't gone down that road yet, unlike some other projects. Maybe someday, but if you need a commercial support option that is co-branded with your Operating System, you could do worse than Solaris, or Red Hat Enterprise. I think there are some persons out there who sell FreeBSD support for a fee. jerry -danny On 10/6/05, Ansar Mohammed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I guess I am interested in finding out if there is support that is offered by the FreeBSD project, not from third party vendors. FreeBSD offers non-commercial support through mailing-lists and doc-project (FAQs and Handbooks) which is probably the most comprehensive, active and effective support there is. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: FreeBSD Support Provider
Hello! A good few months ago I was searching your site, looking for details of any organisations that were located close to me, that provided FreeBSD support. Unless I'm going mad, I seem to remember a company in West Yorkshire, located not very far away from Halifax, which did just that. I remember going to their website, which was linked from FreeBSD.org, but I now cannot find hide or hair of them. Can you give me any clue's as to who the company might have been? Hope to hear from you soon.

Re: FreeBSD support of 3Com 3C2000-T NIC
Martin Hudec [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: is 3Com gigabit 3C2000-T nic supported in FreeBSD4/5? If not, which gigabit nic can you recommend to use? The documentation doesn't describe the hardware in enough detail to be sure without trying one (or at least seeing one, to be able to read the chipset information off the chips). I *suspect* they should work, because they seem to be 3Com's replacement for some older Tigon-based cards that I am using successfully. But naturally the hardware may have changed completely in the redesign... -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org:8088/~lowell/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: FreeBSD support
This boot error message general means that your floppy drive is broken. When was the last time you used it? Try to verify that it's in working order by booting an MS/Window system on that PC, or swap that floppy drive with one from some other PC that you can test works first. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2004 8:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FreeBSD support Hello Support, I have a problem my floppy drive does not want to work. when my FreeBSD 5.1 boots I have a message fdc0: cmd 3 faild at out byte 1 of 3 and cannot reserve I/O port range (6 port) After logining I cannot use my floppy drive- there is no device file.

I have several boards where this error occurs when ACPI is enabled. It's not a hardware problem. The floppy drives work with other systems, but not with FreeBSD+ACPI (4.9 - 5.1). cu, Uwe ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
