Hi Jason, I have a 2550 with Perc 3/DI card and I boot from CD, it freezes after detecting 2nd RAID 5 container. I know FreeBSD runs on Poweredge servers, lots of people do. If I remember correctly, one of the main developers uses a 2650 or 2850 for dev work. I'm going to try changing the BIOS option for OS Install from off to on, and see if that helps - even though it just limits the amt of available RAM in the box to 256MB, afaik. There's also a setting in the SCSI config that relates to windows, I forget exactly off the top of my head. Basically the gist of it is that you turn it off if you're planning to run and OS other than windows. I'm hoping to mess with this later today.
