Hi all,

> appreciate all of your input about using Intel L440GX+ server
> motherboard under FreeBSD 4.0 (3.4).  All pros and cons coming

just saw this thread - and I'm also thinking about using that
Board / ISP2150-System - it's really great.

There are several things that are unresolved till now - and
one of it is _really_ problematic:

- has anyone tried to run healthd on an gx+?
  I did - and got some weird responses. As far as intel is using
  an "homebrew" method, the microcontoller used for interfacing
  to this relevant data isn't compatible to the standard ones
  (lm7x-series)

- This microcontroller on the other side is really fascinating,
  allowing hardware-watchdog-timer and has many informations
  about all you ever thought wanting to know.

- Great: Power-UP&DOWN via Serial#2-Line (Extended Management Port).
  Bad: Intel's own protocol, frontends only for NT and Solaris.
  I have seen an hack/implementation for Linux with sourcecode.
  Has anyone ported that (name is VACM) to FreeBSD? A simple
  Commandline-Interface would be all I want ;-)

I am in talk with Intel Germany about these "Problems" and hope
to get some answers the next time. Btw, if anyone here knows some-
thing, it would be nice to read about.

Cu, Oliver
