Apologies if this is the wrong way to approach the FreeBSD community = wisdom: I am new here, please forgive. I am unable to boot/install = FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img (dated 2017-July-21) on a = brand-new HPE MicroServer Gen10 containing an AMD Opteron X3421. Boot = hangs very early in the process. I have described the issue, and all = remedies that I have tried, in detail on the forum = (https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/61936/) and I have logged a bugzilla = bug [221350]. It has been suggested to me that FreeBSD might not yet = support this new AMD processor, or that it has issues with the chipset. = As this is equipment from a major vendor, I wonder if it is likely that = it would be supported at some stage in the *near* future. Although I am somewhat new to FreeBSD, I have 30+ years of = dev/OS/crypto/AI experience (way back from System V) and I would be = willing and hopefully able to help debug this issue if it is at all = likely that I could get support for it from the FreeBSD developers. May I politely ask if in your opinion this equipment is likely to be = supported soon? If not, I will return it to the vendor and use something = a little older. If this is the wrong place to ask, please kindly direct = me to the correct mailing list. The full details with boot console outputs: = https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/61936/ Bugzilla bug: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D221350 Regards from Ireland, Rafal Lukawiecki=20=
