Is the compaq DL 580 G2 or Serverworks HE chipset known rouge Hardware? I ask as I seem to be unable to probe one of the (many) pci busses on this sytem, even in a uniprocessor kernel. (In fact I can't get SMP running on this either, however that is not my major concern ATM). ----- Forwarded message from Alex Trull <alex.trull@hybyte.com> ----- Reply-To: <alex.trull@hybyte.com> From: "Alex Trull" <alex.trull@hybyte.com> To: "'Geoff Buckingham'" <geoffb@chuggalug.clues.com> Cc: <stable@FreeBSD.ORG> Subject: RE: HP/Compaq DL580 G2 Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 16:25:24 -0000 X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook CWS, Build 9.0.6604 (9.0.2911.0) Importance: Normal In-Reply-To: <8E86DC478BA14B43A60F8F6B8CBF316417B52F@exchange1.london.hybyte.com> X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 Hmmm! Looks like you're getting somewhere interesting. I recalled that in your special compaq bios, can you specify the operating system which will be running on the system. I was advised to take 'linux'. You may need to use the smartcd which comes with the system (Some compaqs need it to access the bios). This option apparently alters the architecture to be more sensible with various OSes. (You can pick from a variety, but bsd is not in the list) Good Luck!

The missing fxp0 and bge0 are in the non-hotplug slots which seem to be on the same bus. It looks like that bus is not being probed for some reason. ----- End forwarded message ----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
