It looks like the compaq proliant 1600 servers are being replaced 
by a new model called 'ML370' 
(http://www.compaq.com/products/servers/ProLiantml370/descriptio
n.html)
This new ML series really seem to suck with freebsd afaik. Only 
freebsd version 4.0 recogniced its onboard scsi controller, the 
kernel gives the error 'stale irq 7' while running, and the floppy drive 
is unusable. The onboard network card is usless too, as its allways 
detected with the same mac address, so you cant have two MLs 
on the same lan (not to mention it will work only at 10Mbps). 

Things with ML530 (the sucesor of Proliant 3000) doesnt look 
better, as not even 4.0 will detect its onboard scsi controller.

I only tried the GENERIC version of the kernel. Did anybody have 
the same problems with these model of servers? Does anybody 
know if a configuration change in the kernel will solve any of these 
problems? Thanks for any info you have

Regards
Alejandro
