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?
