Make sure / (and therefore /boot) are at the front of the disk. Don't use the whole disk - swap as / if you have try reducing it to a few gig. Look at RAID/BIOS geometry settings particularly the 32/63 spt stuff.=20 -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Rob Crommentuijn Sent: 28 February 2007 15:27 To: freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org Subject: DL380 G5 won't boot Hello, I'm trying to install A HP dl380G5 with P600 controller, 2gb ram, 5 146gb sas disk's in Raid 5 with hotspare. The installation of Freebsd 6.2 I386 (with the bootonly cd) goed well, with 1 small problem. When I want to create the slice for the partitions, the installer will give me a Geometry incorrect warning and sets it's to what it thinks is correct. The installation then goes without a problem.=20 When I reboot at the end of the installation it hangs at displaying the bootloader (i'm using the freebsd bootmanager). Then the system bleeps every few seconds. Rebooting using ctrl+alt+del is still possible, but it won't boot. Also tried the AMD64 edition, but problem is the same. Can you guys identify the problem i'm having? If you need some more information, just ask for it.=20 Rob Crommentuijn Systems and Network Administrator rcrommentuijn@adimec.nl Adimec Advanced Image Systems B.V.
