I have a H8DAE running in a test-box before we start selling them. So far I have ony found one problem: It is impossible to boot FreeBSD/i386 with the 1U IPMI card, the kernel panics when loading the keyboard driver. This does not happen with FreeBSD/amd64. I haven't tested how well the IPMI card works in FreeBSD, there may be problems with the bge driver. Other than that I really like the board. If you have any more questions I'll be happy to answer them. /Martin > > Thanks, > Guy > -- Martin Nilsson, CTO & Founder, Mullet Scandinavia AB, Malmö, SWEDEN E-mail: martin@mullet.se, Phone: +46-(0)708-606170, Web: www.mullet.se Our business is well engineered servers optimised for FreeBSD & Linux
