But I'm not running CURRENT, and have no idea if this is a Compaq issue or a kernel issue. So I wrote to questions@ to find out where better to place the question. And then I found an open pr, and posted the id to the list answering many people who'd emailed me privately with the same problem. ;-P -- Richard Jones http://www.jonze.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I found the smartstart cd's and tried using those with "manual integration" and "linux". That didn't work, so I tried "other". That didn't work either. I left the box over night (12 hours) and found it in the same state the next day. i.e. at the kernel init, having just print acd0: Just to recap: booting with default, the kernel gets to "Timecounters tick every 10.000msec", then takes another three or so hours to get to "cd0:" where it hangs for 12 hours. when booting with single-user, ACPI disabled, or safe-mode, I get a kernel panic "Page not present"[0].

The F10 System Partition utilties didn't want to play nicely because I couldn't provide it with a server profile diskette. R P.S. I've a very funny feeling that this is PnP BIOS issue.

It only hangs with the default kernel. Every other options results in a (non recoverable) panic. I left the default kernel hanging, and it now seems to be progressing through the kernel init, albeit painfully slowly (so far two hours).

I have installed it only - we don't use FreeBSD on the ML370 in production and it was over a year ago when I tried it. I did not have trouble installing or booting at the time, though. Maybe there is a BIOS setting that could be changed? I think I changed an OS setting to be 'Linux' or 'Other'. -Will ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Is it ML370G2 or ML370G3? I know Will Saxon is running ML370G2 without any problems. He reads this mailing list... A week ago I sent an email asking about HP servers. Yesterday I got and email from a person working for HP ISS-Houston. He said: "Thank you for your interest in HP ProLiant! Both servers are capable of running FreeBSD 4.8 and 5.1 using SCSI drives. If you want to use ATA drives on the ML330G3, you won't be able to use them in RAID mode (no drivers), only in non-RAID mode. Let me know if you have any more FreeBSD questions regarding ProLiant. " In my mail I asked about ML330G3 and ML350G3. On wednesday I have an HP laboratory booked for tests...

Re: Compaq ML370 and FreeBSD-5.1
Odd i have it running on an ML530 fine, saw the same errors at first and just disabled ACPI, it worked and installed fine from there, though during the boot process after disabling ACPI let it sit a while during the hang time, its probably probing something but it should boot.
