Upon booting from the installation medium (be it "disc1" or "dvd") is always ends up with the system completely freezing / panicking To be exact, the CD boots up to the point where it says "usbus3: 480Mbps High Speed USB v2.0" then freezing and/or panicking. I've tried the following things: o) boot from CD with default settings -> freeze o) boot from CD with ACPI off -> kernel panic o) boot from CD "safe mode" -> kernel panic o) boot from CD verbose mode -> freeze Interesting to see that "verbose" doesn't reveal any additional details and booting either safe mode or with ACPI turned off, you end up with a kernel panic. Here's what additional things I tried: o) upgrading the Blade BIOS to the latest available release being ProLiant BL465c G1 System ROM: A13 05/02/2011; backup system ROM: 02/26/2007 iLO 2 Firmware Version: 1.35 07/16/2007 No change - freeze or panic. o) Full hardware check using the HP diagnostic tools - no problem here. o) Downloading the .ISO again and burning a new CD - same result. o) Installing via iLO (remote management console) vs. installing from real CD - same result For your reference I did some screenshots that I made available on the WEB: http://www.jenisch.at/FreeBSD-9-install-on-HP-blade/Boot-default.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/FreeBSD-9-install-on-HP-blade/Boot-ACPI-off-01.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/FreeBSD-9-install-on-HP-blade/Boot-ACPI-off-02.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/FreeBSD-9-install-on-HP-blade/Boot-ACPI-off-03.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/FreeBSD-9-install-on-HP-blade/Boot-ACPI-off-04.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/FreeBSD-9-install-on-HP-blade/Boot-Verbose-mode-01.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/FreeBSD-9-install-on-HP-blade/Boot-Verbose-mode-02.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/FreeBSD-9-install-on-HP-blade/Boot-Verbose-mode-03.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/FreeBSD-9-install-on-HP-blade/Boot-Safe-mode-01.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/FreeBSD-9-install-on-HP-blade/Boot-Safe-mode-02.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/FreeBSD-9-install-on-HP-blade/Boot-Safe-mode-03.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/FreeBSD-9-install-on-HP-blade/Boot-Safe-mode-04.jpg >How-To-Repeat: Is 100% reproducible (see above) >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
