No, I have actually encountered that same problem on an ML310 which has a bge NIC and nothing but 64-bit PCI slots. I didn't even realize that the Intel NIC I had _was_ 64-bit, until I tried plugging in a 32-bit Adaptec 2940UW, and realized I needed a 64-bit SCSI card. Regarding your other idea of cvsupping a 4-STABLE /usr/src tree and moving it over to the Proliant, that sounds like its worth a shot. The only gotcha is that sometimes Compaq doesn't go out of its way to support IDE hard disks on SCSI servers. If you have the ability to burn the /usr/src tree to an ISO CD-R filesystem or burn a .tar file onto a CD-R treating it like an optical floppy, that might get you going. Otherwise, include your mailing address, and perhaps a kind soul here on the list can send you a 64-bit Intel card. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
