I've installed FreeBSD 5 on many IBM x345 servers with no problems. They appear to have phased out that model, it's now an IBM x346 and there are 2 problems ; 1) The network card is not supported. During the bootup it lists "ethernet card" as one of the devices and next to it says "no driver" 2) I can't get the integrated RAID Controller on the server working. I have 2 x 36gb drives and have set them up using RAID1 on the onboard adaptec scsi controller but FreeBSD still picks up 2 x 36gb separate drives instead of a single 36gb partition. Any ideas on anything I could do? I can buy a network card to solve #1 and not use the onboard card, #2 has me a bit puzzled though. Cheers Gav
