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]"

Can I boot off a 4.8 boot floppy and then start rebuild the box which still has a 4.6 world installed? Another thought - could I do this: 1) cvsup to 4.7-STABLE, or 4.8 on my PC 2) install a spare old HDD and tar the /usr/src tree onto that Disk 3) tranfer the spare HDD to the Proliant 4) tar from the spare HDD to the /usr/src tree on the Proliant 5) make (world and kernel, blah-blah) Then let the games begin... Any advice would be appreciated. Regards, Patrick. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

PHY drivers for Proliant ML370
Hi folks! I have been asked to set up a server for mail and FTP for a customer. The box they have supplied is a Proliant ML370 with dual CPU, SCSI RAID et al. The most recent installation CD I have is 4.6 (I keep my kit up to date by cvsup). The 4.6 CD installs OK, but it does not recognise the on-board PHYs Snooping around on the Board I have found to chips which appear to me to be for the two PHY interfaces. 1) Broadcom BCM5703CKHB 2) Am79C874VC In LINT (and GENERIC) I find references to BCM5700 and BCM5701, and also to Am79C97x - close but no cigar :( I tried using a floppy to copy the driver code from my desktop which is currently at 4.7 patch 7. It compiled, but the kernel still fails to recognise these chips. So - finally - can anyone advise me on next steps? Yours in eager anticipation :) Patrick. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
