Interesting, I have had exactly the same experience with Compaq's DL360's
using two CPU's.

I do recall there being something on the DL360 problem in the bug-database,
but I cannot recall if it has been fixed, and I havent had occasion to try to
run BSD on the DL360's again rather changing to an older 6500 for my function
- and in the process losing the rather sexy DL360's to a Win2K application
:-/

I have a ML370 as well but only once CPU at the moment - so I cannot see what
FreeBSD does on that box...

Something else, does anyone know how to support Compaq's SmartArray 53xx
series controllers in FreeBSD?

Cheers
