If you have the broadcom NICs you'll have to grab the drivers from -STABLE or 6.2-RC1 and recompile the kernel. I haven't had the shutdown issues that other people have mentioned, but you can get them with IPMI and reboot from there if it's an issue. Lack of in OS tools for the RAID controller is an issue, but it's my understanding that that's being worked on. mysql seems to run just fine, but this is primarily a fall-over box for me and hasn't really seen 'real' loads yet. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel
