The only "supported" OS's are SuSE and RedHat Enterprise. But, I thought what the heck I'll try trusty FBSD on it. 4.10 installed perfectly, however I really want 64-bit support.. So it looks like 5.2.1-RELEASE for me. However, when trying to boot into setup from the minimal install CD, I hit a roadblock: mss_probe: no address given, try 0x530 mss_detect, busy still set (0xff) This repeats enough times that it scrolls off the screen and I can't tell exactly what happens before it, and the system is frozen so I can't scroll back. The machine has an integrated Broadcom Gigabit, which it detects fine, and a HP Smart Array RAID controller, which it also seems to detect. That's the only peripherals that I'm using. I've tried disabling the integrated "lights-out" processor and changing IRQ's of the PCI devices with no luck, The RAID controller is in a 133MHz PCI-x slot, if that makes a difference. Help PLEASE! I don't want to be "forced" to put Linux on this beast! ------ End of Forwarded Message
