With the kernel I removed all non-required devices Firewire, usb all the NIC's except em and removed all RAID and SCSI controllers to make sure nothing would interfere. I tried to boot with the AMD64 CD but with no success, the machine just hangs when it tries to load the CD, still trying to work out a solution to the problem, but it just seems these DELL 2850 machines are for Windows or RedHat!!!

As the crash info below is when the machine was in an 100% > idle state. I have the same hardware as well, running on the i386-port. I have disabled usb with usbd_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf. I have no idea whether this helps but havent't had an issue with the 2850. Except with a qlogic-hba and the isp-driver (I suspect) *on* amd64, but *not* on i386.
