For instance the Proliant DL145 G3 (which is dual socket, dual core Opteron) comes with HT1000 as the onboard SATA controller (unless you go for hot swap SATA, I think) and something similar as the PATA controller (and the cd/dvd-rom drive isn't detected). (What we have tested is the following: FreeBSD {6.2-RELEASE, 7.0-BETA2} installed on /dev/ad4, create one big partition on /dev/ad6 (both 250 GB disks), newfs, mount then dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/foo bs=512k. After a while the machine panics and the superblock on /dev/ad6 is corrupted. If I omit newfs/mount, all is apparently well.) Oh, if a committer needs remote access (ssh, remote kvm) to such a machine just send me an email and I'll set it up. Likewise if there's any patches to be tested or info to be gathered. /Martin
