Hi, i tried to install FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.0 (x86 and amd64) on an IBM Blade Center (Intel based). USB keyboard works, ACPI does not (but i do not care about that one), but the bootprocess takes about 5-10 minutes. We hava a Qlogic 2312 which is supported by the "isp" driver. But, well, not really supported? After detecting the QLogic, it takes several minutes to boot into sysinstall. And, after that, sysinstall does not find any disk. So installation ends here. We do not have a SCSI HD in the Blades, just in the SAN. So booting from there is a "must have". So, anyone out there running FreeBSD (or NetBSD/OpenBSD) on an Intel Blade Center? Thnaks in advance. asg ######################################################################## # DISCLAIMER # # # # Der Inhalt dieser E-Mail ist vertraulich.
