I'm having a little problem with my ISP. They said they would lease me a new
rack-mounted server and put FreeBSD on to it. However, they were unable to
get it to recognize certain parts of the hardware (specifically getting errors
on the network cards not being initialized correctly).
In the end, they installed RedHat on the machine, since their main techie
is a Linux fan. I have the dmesg ouput from RedHat. If there is anyone on the
list who is familiar with both RedHat and with FreeBSD, could you look at this
output and tell me what if any hardware is non-standard and/or unsupported
by FreeBSD ? Will FreeBSD 4.7, 4.8 or 5.0 run on this kit ? Would it need a
custom kernel ?
I don't have physical access to the hardware at the moment, and the dmesg
below is the most accurate technical description of the hardware that I have
(other than its a 1u rackmounted server, celeron processor, ide hard drive)
