If I understand it correctly, then hw.pci.do_powerstate puts a device into C3 state if no driver attaches. That's just what happens here. That iLO service processor of the DL380s shows up as normal PCI device, but exports the console to the network even without specific driver (as there is none for FreeBSD), so that it works independent of the OS. So, since there is no driver, the device gets powered down as soon as the kernel initializes its ACPI parts, and then the iLO console stops working. cheers, le -- Lukas Ertl http://homepage.univie.ac.at/l.ertl/ le@FreeBSD.org http://people.freebsd.org/~le/
