There's a few issues with these POS Compaq DL lines. Don't be surprised if you can't recompile the kernel to support both CPU's. I've recently run into this problem with 4.1-RELEASE and a new batch of DL380's, but the problem originated in the 360 line. Compaq is working with me on the problem, and I am almost sure it's them not FreeBSD. As for the ida support my WORKING :) :( DL380's run fine with the ida driver on 4.1-RELEASE.

A Collegue of mine if currently trying to install Linux on that machine, whilst i'm up to trying to install FreeBSD on it because i saw that the ida device (Compaq Smart RAID) is supported by at least 4.1-STABLE (didn't look the other versions up though). To come to the point: device ida does not seem to be supported by the installation disk(set) so if anyone could provide me with one that does have support for the ida device plus fxp and wx i'd be ready to give it a try :) FYI: the machine in question is a Compaq Proliant DL 360, 1 U high, dual PIII 800 (coppermine), 1 gig RAM, two onboard intel ether express whatever NICs, one Intel Gigabit Ethernet NIC and two 18GB i think scsi disks behind that damn (sorry :) Smart Array Controller. http://www.compaq.com/products/servers/proliantdl360/index.html hopefully, Stefan -- Our OS who art in CPU, UNIX be thy name.
