FreeBSD has run flawlessly for me - no reboots, crashes or other headaches. I'm using FreeBSD 5.2 RC2. The onboard sATA on the S2885 isn't supported. The GX28 uses a Promise controller chip that is more likely to work. I have no idea if the LSI SCSI controller is supported. It's a BCM5704c ethernet: mine is a 5705. I'm using 8 GB of memory (8x Crucial part #CT12872Y335) and a HighPoint 1542 sATA controller. Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 17:47:03 -0800 (PST) Subject: Tyan GX28 support? Has anyone tested 5.X with a Tyan GX28 1U server?
