I've got about 25-30 running FreeBSD 4.6 - 4.11 running perfectly stable, but the 3 that I installed 5.x on, (currently all 5.4-STABLE), keep on hanging themselves up completely, even with no read load on them, within a week. CPUs range from 3.06 to 3.2 GHz, all of them have 4x1GB DIMMs, and 3 SEAGATE ST3146807LC 0007's... I tried updating the BIOSes as well, with both a standard BIOS and one given to us bh supermicro preconfigured fro com-console, so I could flashed them with a remotely booted DOS floppy over com-console. :-) Another thing I noticed: motherboard versions from before 2005 do not detect sio0 on the right place: port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on acpi0 (the normal place for sio1), resulting in loader/kernel comconsole going to the right port and the userland comconsole going to the wrong port... This problem does not occur on newer versions of the servers...
