----- Original Message ----- From: "DINKEY,GENE (Non-HP-Loveland,ex1)" <charles_dinkey@non.hp.com> | I used to support the Netserver product line for HP. You may want to try | running the diags (they can be gotten from netserver.hp.com) and ensure that | all the hardware is functioning. You may also want to check the hardware | event log and look for things like memory errors (the event log is | accessable from the Navigator CD). I presume its on the Netserver Navigator CD, too? I'll give that a shot, but like I said it was up and running as a very high utilization Netware server, and has sat with its power cord unplugged since the users and data went to a different box a month ago. I would think that hardware errors would have shown up already. | I'm new to BSD myself but I see no reason why it shouldn't work, do you | actually have any EISA cards installed? Nope. Two PCI 3c905 cards and the HPDA Mylex DAC (which is what I'm actually after -- I was beating on an older HPDA/Mylex DAC960PL card, trying unsuccessfully to use it with he mlx driver. This should be a newer card and might work, or at least be upgradable to 3.x firmware). I suppose I could start yanking cards and see what happens, or yank memory out and see what happens. I guessing that there's something in the GENERIC kernel that's doing something icky that the hardware doesn't like, which is why I'm most interested in know what I have to do to build a custom kernel for installation. -Shawn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
