You mean just usb keyboard and usb mouse influence RC2 to install. But the freebsd 5.0 kernel for ia64 is ok, and did not to modify anything. Just usb problems. Am I right? Then what difference about hp zx1 and intel e8870 chipset in ia64 for freebsd. Or this problem is solved by efi? Am I right? Because our lab tiger 4 machine is just on the way, we have not got yet. If you know, please give me a reply. Barry >I'm inclined to say that we support the Tiger4, mostly because >we don't depend much on the the chipset.
