Originally I had it in the tertiary (64-bit) bus, it being a 64-bit card, then I tried the slots on primary and secondary as well. No luck. :( -----Original Message----- From: Barney Wolff [mailto:barney@databus.com] Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2003 1:40 PM To: Secure Play Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 4.8 on Proliant 8500 On Fri, Sep 12, 2003 at 08:53:41PM -0700, Secure Play wrote: > Has anyone seen any issues runing FreeBSD 4.8 on a Compaq Proliant > 8500? This is an older 8-way server (2GB ram, 8x500 Mhz CPUs). I don't really need all those CPUs, but I have nothing else to do with them. :) > > Everything works fine, except that when I add a Intel Pro/1000 card, > it is not seen.

This may be a pci hardware version problem. I have a pro/1000-desktop card which is only seen in a 64-bit slot on an Asus A7M266-D motherboard, although it's a 32-bit card. My guess was that the card requires a newer pci version than the motherboard was supplying on the 32-bit slots. Another possibility is interrupt sharing. Try moving the card to all other slots before giving up. -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net.
