Again, for the curious and those searching the archives (believe

to get it to boot at all. I'd love to see APM working, but have yet
to make that happen. Same with WOL.
Good grief! I started searching the web for information on this beast,
never realising I had the thread sitting in my inbox :)
I inherited a 6-way HP Netserver LT 6000r and I've been getting it to
run 5.4-STABLE. If I let it boot by itself it hangs on the first of the
following two lines (the second is never displayed)
amrd0: 52095MB (106690560 sectors) RAID 5 (optimal)
ses0 at amr0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0
(full dmegs output is at the end of this message).
So, I'm confused as it seems that your dmesg below shows the box booting up
just fine past this hang. Does it hang with ACPI enabled but work fine with
ACPI disabled? If so, you can probably run the box just fine with ACPI
disabled. Can you check to see if all the IRQs are the same for the ACPI and
non-ACPI dmesgs? If so, then you probably just need to disable ACPI.
Yes, If I disable ACPI (choice 2 on the beastie screen) it boots up
fine, and that's the dmesg I posted. If I choose 1, then it just hands
at the amrd0 line, and the ses0 line is never seen.
To disable ACPI correctly, then, I need only remove the option line in
the kernel config file? What is the impact of running without? As far as
I am aware it deals with power management. If my server is running in an
air-conditioned room with redundant power supplies I shouldn't really be
worried, correct?
What command will show me the current IRQ assignements? Just grepping
for irq in the dmesg gives:
ioapic0 <Version 1.1> irqs 0-15 on motherboard
ioapic1 <Version 1.1> irqs 16-31 on motherboard
fxp0: <Intel 82559 Pro/100 Ethernet> port 0x1800-0x183f mem
0xec900000-0xec9fffff,0xec801000-0xec801fff irq 18 at device 6.0 on pci0
amr0: <LSILogic MegaRAID 1.51> mem 0xf4000000-0xf7ffffff irq 20 at
device 3.1 on pci4
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
fdc0: <Enhanced floppy controller> at port 0x3f0-0x3f5 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0
unknown: <PNP0f13> can't assign resources (irq)
Is there something more tailored than that? I scanned through sysctl but
it doesn't look like they are listed therein.
Thanks,
David
