Symptoms: Upon booting off the installation DVD the system freezes (when running the installation "non-verbose") or installation stops with a panic followed by an automatic reboot. Here's what I tried so far: o) Updating BIOS, array-controller, iLO to the latest version o) Booting the installation DVD in safe-mode o) Booting the installatino DVD verbose mode o) Escaping to the loader prompt, entering kern.eventtimer.periodic=1 kern.eventtimer.timer="LAPIC" and booting the install-DVD with these settings (I once could boot and older HP-server using these settings, so I tried them here too) Nothing of this helped - the system just freezes/crashes in an early stage even before the actual installer starts. I uploaded screenshots to a server so you can see what's happening: http://www.jenisch.at/HP-Proliant-DL580-G5-Installation-Crash/FreeBSD-install-crash-HP-Proliant-DL580-G5-01.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/HP-Proliant-DL580-G5-Installation-Crash/FreeBSD-install-crash-HP-Proliant-DL580-G5-02.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/HP-Proliant-DL580-G5-Installation-Crash/FreeBSD-install-crash-HP-Proliant-DL580-G5-03.jpg http://www.jenisch.at/HP-Proliant-DL580-G5-Installation-Crash/FreeBSD-install-crash-HP-Proliant-DL580-G5-04.jpg ("FreeBSD-install-crash-HP-Proliant-DL580-G5-04.jpg" shows the actual panic/stacktrace) Anybody seen this before? Any known cure against this problem? Thanks much in advance for any clue, -ewald
