I've had several quirks on it that I haven't really understood, but after doing some research it seems like the older Proliant servers had some hardware compatibility issues with the FreeBSD 5 branch. My server is randomly rebooting when I try to do almost anything on it (I was trying to create a custom kernel post-install) and even just modifying a configuration file caused it to reboot. It's getting really irritating, and it had no problems with several different linux installations. I don't want to go back to FreeBSD 4, but if I must....thanks for any help, any ideas? -Trevor
