Dear Freebsd core team and developers,
Recenlty IBM Taiwan had a large project to prompt FreeBSD in Taiwan
elementary
school. We use 600 sets IBM Netfinity 5000 server in this project.
We had some problems with IBM Netfinity 5000 with FreeBSD, The most
important
is that there is 2 set of PCI bridge of Netfinity 5000. When I installed
the netfinity 5000 and
use "dmesg" command. System can regonized all chip set on mainboard,
include 2 PCI bridge
chip set and 1 PCI-ISA bridge.
=3D=3D=3D=3D IBM Netfinity 5000 Bus Architecture =3D=3D=3D=3D
PCI bus 0 connected with on board AIC-7895, S3 Video chip & AMD
79cXXX NIC and
only "1" free PCI slot.
PCI bus 1 connected with 4 PCI slots , 2 of them are PCI/ISA share
slot.
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The most problems we meet =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All adaptor (we try Intel Ether express pro) only can be regonized o=
n
PCI bus 0 , but
no matter what we have tried, we can't install any adaptor on PCI bus 1
slots!!
Could you help us!! We really wonna prompt FreeBSD on Taiwan market.
It need all
your help for this!!
Is there anyone tried install FreeBSD on multi PCI bus system(most
mid-high end PC
server desgined not just for 1 PCI bridge but more than 2 or 3 PCI bridge=
)?
Please help us!!
