I have one, on LS21 (2x2 Opteron). Works very fine on 6.3-R in 32-bit 
mode (PAE+SMP), after I disabled umass (USB storage). When I first set 
it up (long time ago, early in development of 7.x), 7-CURRENT wouldn't 
boot and I had trouble with 64-bit mode on both 6.x and 7.x. It's 
probably better now.

The blade is connected to a FibreChannel disk array with a QLogic 
controller (ISP 2422), which also works without problems (you can even 
use active-passive multipath on 7.x).
