Grjetarsson Sent: 6. desember 2005 10:57 To: 'freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org' Subject: FW: problems booting FreeBSD 6.0 on IBM Blade Center H40 Hi I have this new IBM Blade Center, which I would like to run FreeBSD on with boot from SAN, when trying to boot I get problems and can't see any disks from the SAN. the configuration I have is a IBM Blade Center H40 DS400 diskbox with dual controller but only single connection Qlogic 2312 dual FC controller I have problem with the ISP driver: I tried to boot from the FreeBSD 6.0-Release cd but it always fails with the error can't load kernel and I can't see the cdrom to boot from after the boot loader has started. So I downloaded the boot floppies and tried to boot the blade using the floppies but it won't show me any drivers after a long waiting period while the isp driver hangs for awile in the boot process. I compiled a custom kernel and made new boot kern floppies to boot from, and now I'm stuck with this error in the boot process: isp0: bad execution throttle of 0- using 16 isp0: bad hard address 125- resetting to zero after reading all i've gathered on this subject and googl'd on it, I put ispfw_load="YES" line in the loader.conf ,, but without result Can anyone point me out on how to solve this problem, I really need this to work !?!? please help! kveðja/regards Gestur
