Greetings, I have installed FBSD 3.1-Release on IBM Netfinity, and since then upgrade to FBSD 3.2-Release in May, and if everything goes smoothly, go to FBSD 3.3-R in November. ( Customer's Server, don't want to be too progressive ;) ) Anyway, for me, the on-board SCSI didn't work. I actually used a Adaptec 2940. The onboard Ethernet card works, using the lnc driver. I heard its flaky, but work okay so far. Never had problem, well none that I know of. BTW, mine is single CPU. Oh, I have a problem with rebooting. It doesn't work. It will shutdown, but doesn't reboot. Someone has to manually off-wait-on the machine. Though luck for me since I am administering it off-site. Reboot is not an option for me. :( /calvin lines with :> are quotes from Sebastien Gioria's email :> Hi all, :> :> One of my customer ask me, if we could install a FreeBSD-stable on :> an IBM Netfinity 5500(or 5005 ?) with 2 processors and if the ethernet and :> RAID-5 card is supported ? :> :> Is anyone working with a similar configuration ? :> :> S. :> :> PS: sorry to have no more information on the config but the client said: :> "If you know what kind of hardware you want, I can adapt.
