I'm wondering if this was resolved. I was looking at Dell R610s with Perc H700 and no solid information either. Found a few threads with people having issues with it, no solutions. These been out since early 2010, not cutting edge by any means. Is anyone using Dell R610/R620 with Perc H700/H710 reliably for some time? How can a hardcore server-OS like FreeBSD not have solid support for these popular server platforms :\ The more I run into these issues, the more I'm being forced to consider Linux; this is somewhat sad. I hope I'm mistaken but it seems like there is less and less support for mainstream server out-of-box hardware lately. -Simon On Thu, 17 May 2012 11:24:01 -0400, kpneal@pobox.com wrote: >On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 02:07:30PM -0500, Mark Felder wrote: >> On Wed, 16 May 2012 13:04:25 -0500, Rick Miller <vmiller@hostileadmin.com> >> wrote: >> >> > >> >Would anyone else out there have any experience with installing >> >FreeBSD on the R620 and be able to provide any tips for >> >troubleshooting? >> > >> >> Does 9.0 install on that hardware?
