I'm assuming that you aren't a regular member of this list, before anyone
can help you we need the following:
1) What version of FreeBSD are you running? (uname -a)
2) What EXACT model of Dell server are you working with here?
(The words "Oh hell its a Dell" come to mind)
3) We need a hardware spec. dump from this machine. (dmesg)
4) Mail me off list I'm in Sandton and might be able to help.
Note:
Logging a "fault" on the website will liably get you no response without
items 1 -> 3.
FreeBSD, much like most OpenSource UNIX-like OSs, is not a commercial
product and you are not a paying customer, therefor you need to take part in
the community when things like this happen.
PS:
I'm not trying to be confrontational, even if I looks like I might be, just
trying to make any further activities on this list as enjoyable and
productive as possible for you.
