Greetings, More information:
It seems that the problem is with SMP enabled. If I use just a snigle processor all is well. The problem can be reproduce merely by enabling SMP in the kernel. I have tested and I can not reproduce in 5.1 . So currently the solutions are to use FreeBSD 5.1 or Move either the RAID controller or the NIC from the pci-x slot to a standard pci slot. > Greetings, > > Additional information: > > If I enable the 82544GC onboard nic and place the PCI-X Intel 82544Ei > card a pci standard slot (not pci-x) then the box hangs on boot at the > megaraid controller after sees raid5 stripe. > > If I disable the 82544GC onboard nic and place the PCI-X Intel 82544Ei > card a pci standard slot (not pci-x) then the box functions great. > > >> Greetings, >> >> I am having trouble with a new Gateway 980 server.
