Hi all, > appreciate all of your input about using Intel L440GX+ server > motherboard under FreeBSD 4.0 (3.4). All pros and cons coming just saw this thread - and I'm also thinking about using that Board / ISP2150-System - it's really great. There are several things that are unresolved till now - and one of it is _really_ problematic: - has anyone tried to run healthd on an gx+? I did - and got some weird responses. As far as intel is using an "homebrew" method, the microcontoller used for interfacing to this relevant data isn't compatible to the standard ones (lm7x-series) - This microcontroller on the other side is really fascinating, allowing hardware-watchdog-timer and has many informations about all you ever thought wanting to know. - Great: Power-UP&DOWN via Serial#2-Line (Extended Management Port). Bad: Intel's own protocol, frontends only for NT and Solaris. I have seen an hack/implementation for Linux with sourcecode. Has anyone ported that (name is VACM) to FreeBSD? A simple Commandline-Interface would be all I want ;-) > Alex I am in talk with Intel Germany about these "Problems" and hope to get some answers the next time. Btw, if anyone here knows some- thing, it would be nice to read about.
