Speaking of supermicro, I have a dual xeon 2.8 server stopped right now,
because it keeps segfaulting. I'm using FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE, but this has
always happened since 5.2.1-RELEASE. This server is stopped for some 8
months now..
It will run fine with one CPU (ie can buildworld for days); I've tested
the 4GB RAM with various memory tester programs and it has always come up
fine. When I add the 2nd processor, buildworld will start to randomly
segfault, and the server will eventually lock up completely.
I've also tried single-proc but alternating between the two, to rule out a
screwed up processor. Also tried resetting BIOS to defaults, and HTT is
turned off.
Is this a problem with FreeBSD itself? Anyone has similar problems ?
Have you tried if you get the same problem on less memory with both CPU's?

Supermicro told me that they have stopped verifying their new boards
with FreeBSD because "most users have moved to Fedora Core or Mandrake",
which I find somewhat hard to believe.
If you buy their systems or boards, it would be a good idea to let them
know of the OS choice.
