In case anyone was burning with anticipation, I did get this up and running. You must turn off the interrupt reservation in the "PCI Device Settings" in the BIOS, it also helps to upgrade the BIOS to 4.06.45. For the install to recognise the SCSI devices (I did this with the NetRAID turned OFF), you'll need to start the install with ACPI disabled. I don't know about after the install, since I just left it off. By the way, this was far easier with FreeBSD than it was with NetBSD, Linux, or Solaris 9 (I finally decided on FreeBSD, since it's my Operating System of choice anyway), so some serious kudos to the developers! I don't have SMP working yet, but I will try that next. It /would/ be nice to be able to compile the SMP kernel with SMP enabled, though :) --David King On May 04, 2005, at 22.03, David King wrote: > Has anyone had any luck getting an HP Netserver LT 6000r to run on > FreeBSD, with SMP working?
