after alot of time spent in this problem, I still have no solution to this and
no help yet, is there nobody using IBM Blade and FreeBSD?
I've used FreeBSD since 1994 and never had a problem like this.....
but, I tried to boot from Gentoo Linux, and it detects everything fine with all
lun's useable without any apparent problem
is FreeBSD not going to support IBM Blade?
it seems that I'm forced to stop using FreeBSD for Linux.... I'm not happy.

Subject: FW: problems booting FreeBSD 6.0 on IBM Blade Center H40
hi
I have an update to my problem with booting FreeBSD 6.0 on IBM Blade H40
I set the execution throttle to 256 from 255 and set Hard id to 5 from 125
by doing this, I get the ISP driver working and no delay when the driver boots
=> but when the system comes into sysinstall menu, I get no disks, it seems
that the system doesn't see any drives or lun's ,,, what is causing this??
please help me with this anyone!
kveðja/ best regards

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

FYI, I've had an issue where I can install from the ISO disk in 4.10 and
4.11, but hang when it boots from the Hard Drive. From 5.x on, I can't
even get through the installation from the CD. In both cases, it hangs
at the end of the detection process. 4.9 worked fine, but I'm getting
further and further behind with software updates. I tried submitting it
as a bug, but nobody seems interested in working on it. Clearly
something changed in the detection process at that time.
