(Yes, especially for the onboard-Controllers like the Smartarray 5i) In some cases they come preconfigured when you buy them. >> The other problem is the remote serial support via tip for reaching into >> the bios is quite stuffed, all the text garbles into a single line and is >> just to hard to read, I hacked the minicom port to use the USB to 9pin >> serial device to see if I could make it more like how people in linux would >> use it and it made little difference. >> It looks like HP were trying to have better remote serial bios support by >> going really basic command line style for remote BIOS control but its no >> good. >> The Dell bios is all nice and menu'ed and works flawlessly over remote >> serial, no garbledness overwriting other text. The HP boxes offer 2 ways of serial: traditional BIOS redirection at 9600 bps through 9pin COM1, which you can set up in BIOS, I recall that there are some options to it, like terminal type, ANSI or VT100. Could that be an issue in your environment?

Second possibility ist the console redirection through the iLO board with a web browser.

Hmm, the standard iLO features on HP DL 360G2 and 380 G3 should be sufficient for Unix environments- the advanced pack gives you graphical "console" redirection thats needed for Windows out-of-band management including mouse support and some stuff i already forgot. I monitor these few windows servers via SNMP through the iLO, works without problems, and there is the possibility to login via ssh to iLO for essential things like powercycle. For anything else HP uses SNMP, and I recall some work to script the iLO via XML templates, that can be downloaded from HP.

The latest Xeons use AMD extensions to get 64 bits. So you tell FreeBSD you have an AMD chip. Check /var/run/dmesg.boot to see what it thinks it is. For example, my desktop Intel dual core 64 bit Pentium says it's a K8 class CPU, K8 being the AMD name for the Opteron architecture. --- Roman Lyashenko wrote: > >On 9/9/06, Roman Lyashenko < > > roman787 at > ukrintell.com.ua> wrote: > >> Hello all, > >> > >> > >> > >> Does anybody know if FreeBSD supports new Intel > 64-bit dual-core > XEON > >> 5050 or maybe going to support in the future? > >> > > > >As Mike said, just a new CPU, which, by the way, is > seen as 4 CPUs, > >because of its dual core and hyper-threading > technology, as far as I > >understand. > > > > > ocessors/5000/feature/index.htm> > http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/products/server/pro > cessors/5000/feature/index.htm > > > > Yes, it's true.

(my first time here) I have a PowerEdge 2850 with a PERC 5/I card which I connect to a MD1000 storage system which consists of 6 SATA disks each of 500GB. I have created a hardware RAID 5 of all disks and FreeBSD recognize this as /dev/mfid0. So I go into sysinstall to create something to mount and then Fdisk complains about the geometry, it says: "A geometry of 303672/255/63 for mfid0 is incorrect." and that I ought to set this myself but I have no idea which geometry to use. I have tried to just ignore this and use the entire disk and then in the Disklabel editor I have made a label of the entire partition (2326G). When pressing W to write it says "Error mounting /dev/mfid0s1d on /backup : No such file or directory" and that's because it's called /dev/mfid0s1c and not d. I have tried to ignore this aswell and run newfs manually "newfs /dev/mfid0s1c" and it outputs a whole bunch of numbers and returns without errors. But when I mount this partition its size is just 269G of which 248G is available. How do I use the entire disk?

I needed to fiddle using 915resolution to give the bios 1440x900 in 32 bits, as thats what xorg seemed to prefer (kept bomming out no matter what until i set the right mode in the video bios) startx go "ooh look glxgears works :) regards, Vince From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Sep 12 11:46:47 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AAAD616A417 for ; Tue, 12 Sep 2006 11:46:47 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from lists@hausro.de) Received: from mail3.netbeat.de (mail3.netbeat.de [83.243.58.162]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 819E643D70 for ; Tue, 12 Sep 2006 11:46:36 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from lists@hausro.de) Received: (qmail 30883 invoked from network); 12 Sep 2006 11:46:36 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO Rage) (86.104.204.92) by mail3.netbeat.de with SMTP; 12 Sep 2006 11:46:36 -0000 Message-ID: <044a01c6d661$1919c990$857ba8c0@Rage> From: "ANdrei" To: References: <3692C07B-CCCC-4756-9B33-6DA724481FF2@ketralnis.com> <200609052248.48214.soralx@cydem.org> <015a01c6d188$8c65d840$857ba8c0@Rage> <200609060053.24955.soralx@cydem.org> Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2006 14:46:33 +0300 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2869 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2962 Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Quiet computer X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2006 11:46:47 -0000 >> don't have any of the newer VIA processors, but I have a Yakumo laptop >> with >> a C3 1GHz laying around, and PC-BSD on it... if you're interested, I >> could >> run some tests (just tell me what you want to compare it to, and which >> tests >> to run) and even get FreeBSD on it (though PC-BSD should be fine, as it >> is >> actually a FreeBSD ;). >> >> So if C3 is interesting for you, drop me a line and I'll test it these >> days. >> Runs on DDRAM 266 and FSB133 for the C3, with some S3 video. > > Well, it would be nice to get a general idea about performance of a C3... > Can you run a UNIX benchmark ('ubench' in ports) on that laptop?

Pretty impressive. Some points to note: 6.1R doesn't grok the onboard SATA controller (sysinstall hangs), RELENG_6 as of last week is OK although in RAID1 mode I had to do an 'atacontrol create' before sysinstall would recognise it as a RAID1. Even in a diskless box, you have to include the passive (SATA) backplane because that also carries fan power and the interface for the front control panel. Also that 600W PSU is not a joke, a diskless unit pulls over 500W. The optional Remote Management Module works pretty well, basically it gives a web interface to the IPMI functionality in the BMC. Some frobbing may be required if your LAN is not /24 or you want to access it over an SSH tunnel. I haven't had a chance yet to investigate the IPMI/serial-over-LAN overlaid on to the main NICs. -- Bob Bishop +44 (0)118 940 1243 rb@gid.co.uk fax +44 (0)118 940 1295 From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Sep 13 08:22:24 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 487B816A417 for ; Wed, 13 Sep 2006 08:22:24 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from lists@hausro.de) Received: from mail3.netbeat.de (mail3.netbeat.de [83.243.58.162]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 21AB143D46 for ; Wed, 13 Sep 2006 08:22:22 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from lists@hausro.de) Received: (qmail 24883 invoked from network); 13 Sep 2006 08:22:24 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO Rage) (86.104.204.92) by mail3.netbeat.de with SMTP; 13 Sep 2006 08:22:24 -0000 Message-ID: <06c301c6d70d$bca78640$857ba8c0@Rage> From: "ANdrei" To: References: <3692C07B-CCCC-4756-9B33-6DA724481FF2@ketralnis.com><200609060053.24955.soralx@cydem.org><044a01c6d661$1919c990$857ba8c0@Rage> <200609122249.18405.soralx@cydem.org> Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2006 11:22:22 +0300 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2869 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2962 Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Quiet computer X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2006 08:22:24 -0000 I'll try to benchmark it again in single user mode later today or tomorrow. But to support this VIA CPUs, I must say that for their apparent lack of performance in benchmarks, they run surprinsingly well in real life. If FreeBSD or Windows, this machine of rather low manufacturing quality (Yakumo is not the best of the best) is considerably faster than my Fujitsu Siemens laptop with PIII 850MHz which has the same HDD and amount of RAM etc... Actually the VIA C3 architecture seems to perform very well in real situations, as I have worked for some projects on this machine and it was quite ok. Maybe it is a consequence of its all-in-one motherboard chips, because everything from video to sound and network is integrated, and might give it this "boost" (just a thought). >From the benchmarks you would expect this machine to be really slow, but it is not, I am actually quite happy with it, some Pentium M based laptops around 1.4-1.6GHz I've used felt slower (if Celerons) or about the same...Some, though, felt much faster... But this is definitely usable as a home server or anything alike, I don't think you can that easy "overwork" the CPU with normal tasks, unless you have thousands and thousands of hits on your websites...

I stil have some hope ;) Don't worry too much about the figures: this CPU is great for a client or a home server. I'm running on a Via Epia with a 1GHz C3 and am perfectly happy. Network speed reaches 8MB/s (100Mbps Ethernet) on a single, LAN FTP transfer, which is twice as much as what our Windows laptop (Sempron-based) offers. I don't recommend it to recompile OpenOffice everyday, though ;-) I'll rerun the ubench when the load comes down - I'm not sure running KDE with 8 busy workspaces gives anything meaningful ... It really comes down to what you expect from the box.

So i suggest replacing your cable. Also you might want to check the temperature of the disk using the "smartmontools" utility from freebsd-ports. Harddrives should always be kept very cool < 40 degrees if possible. A higher risk of dataloss and/or lower lifespan could be the result of a higher temperature.

Is this Core2 Duo? On the other hand, maybe someone can help me with an advice for an ATi card. It's a Radeon 9700 Pro from Sapphire. It worked ok for years, 2 days ago i shut down my PC in the evening, and in the morning while booting I get screen corruption in the POST screen (coloured lines and squares). I boot windows to see if this happens there too, and I can't recognize anything on the desktop because of the colour artifacts. Even the BIOS screen is garbage. This card has a massive Zalman cooler on it and should not have any heat issues, as I never use it for gaming or so, only for video production. Tried to set AGP voltage lower and higher with 0.1V, checked AGP speed (66MHz), power cable for the card (has additionl power), nothing helps, all seems ok. Changed it for a Radeon 7000VE I had around, and this one gives me corruption also in POST screen, but under Windows it's clear. Didn't test this one on BSD, but overlay (while watching videos) also gives me screen corruption. Ran memtest86, my RAM is ok, tried the 9700Pro on another motherboard (P4 on a MSI mobo, SIS chipset) that I know to work well, in a new PC (thought maybe my PSU dies), and I still get the artefacts... Now I am a bit afraid to put a new card in on my motherboard, could it be that it destroys my video cards? As it is unlikely that both Radeons (9700Pro and 7000VE) have the same problem, suddenly... The second card was known to work ok. ATi is of no use, they wanna RMA it... Thought that maybe someone here has any ideas, beside flashing my video cards' BIOS (last hope, but I don't think it helps anyway, as this card has "died" suddenly, without me doing anything, as it seems). thanks, ANdrei PS: I just found my old Nokia Communicator 9110i, that has a 80486 AMD in it... now that would be smtg for ubench, could I run it on that one :) http://students.oamk.fi/~t6ruan00/ ------ Never argue with an idiot.

And, in fact, the OS installs fine and correctly detects and installs the drivers for the hardware. My problem, in a nutshell, is that large downloads become corrupted in transit. Anything over a couple MB will have a CRC error somewhere in the file, 99% of the time. So using the ports tree to install large ports always fails with checksum failures. (So, most of them) At first I though maybe it was just a bug between this version of FreeBSD and the bge (Broadcom) driver. My hardware setup: Tyan S2881, K8SR 2 Opteron 248's 2 1GB Corsair ECC DDR 1 WD Raptor 74GB, on built-in (silicon image) SATA controller Adaptec 2420A PCI-X SATA RAID card containing 4 WD RE400's in a RAID 5 array (not even being used yet) The RAID is unused, it's just sitting there. The Raptor is the main OS drive, and is where I've been attempting to save the files. What I've done so far to troubleshoot this: 1. Tried both LAN ports. Both have the same issue. 2. Removed each processor, one at a time, to eliminate them as a cause. 3. Tried each stick of RAM, one at a time, to eliminate these as a cause. 4. Ran Memtest86+ from bootable CD. No errors found. 5. Clean installed both the amd64 and i386 platforms of FreeBSD. Both have same issue. 6. Tried with the Adaptec card installed and not installed. Seemed to make no difference. 7. Newest BIOS revision update has been applied. To make this even more interesting, files are only corrupted when transferred on port 80! I can transfer large files over FTP or Samba just fine, but when transferred over http or fetch they come down with problems. For instance, downloading a port on my Windows box and then transferring it to the distfiles folder via FTP will allow the port to extract, compile and install just fine. Downloading that same file via fetch from this box itself will result in a crc or checksum error. Other computers on this same LAN have no download problems, so there is no network/infrastructure issue. I feel I have sufficiently excluded both RAM and processors as the cause, as the odds of either both processors or both sticks of RAM having this same unique defect seems rather slim, and the behavior does not stop when the Adaptec card is removed. What more can I do before just RMA'ing this motherboard? I can't even really confirm it's a hardware failure at this point.
