It went fine and quickly on the poweredge 1950, but it failed completely on the poweredge 1850. Facts: - boot cd and setup / operation of freebsd 6.x or 7.0 is fine Message log abstract: $ uname -v FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p7 #0: Sun Dec 21 08:31:52 UTC 2008 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC $ dmesg|grep amr amr0: mem 0xd80f0000-0xd80fffff,0xdfde0000-0xdfdfffff irq 46 at device 14.0 on pci2 amr0: Using 64-bit DMA amr0: [ITHREAD] amr0: delete logical drives supported by controller amr0: Firmware 521X, BIOS H430, 256MB RAM amr0: delete logical drives supported by controller amrd0: on amr0 amrd0: 69880MB (143114240 sectors) RAID 1 (optimal) Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/amrd0s1a - boot cd of 7.1 fails because the installed doesn't see any harddisk. Message log abstract: amr0: adapter is busy amr0: adapter is busy amr0: delete logical drives supported by controller I also tried to setup 7.0, and then upgrade to 7.1 with freebsd-update, but then it fails exactly like with the 7.1 boot CD (7.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso). Screenshot: http://omx.ch/om/stuff/pe1850bsd71error.jpg BIOS Message about the Controller on system startup: PowerEdge Expandable RAID COntroller BIOS, (c) 2006 LSI Logic Corporation I'm not sure what I can try next... I'd still like to be able to run 7.1 on this host as well as on several other old but still fine 1850. Is my system simply too old? Why is my adapter "busy" under 7.1? What would you try? I checked the relnotes as well, but saw nothing helpful about my problem there. regards & thanks in advance for any feedback, Olivier
