Reinstalled, after resetting the bios, and as long as I don't configure the network interface, it boots and seems happy. I need a little help, I setup a sup file, and downloaded the sys hiearchy, but I'm not sure which files to copy over to the stock 6.1-RELEASE? In the sys/dev/bge directory there where two files that looked promising, if_bge.c and ifbgereg.h and I copied them over and tried to build a kernel, and it complained about VLAN needing 4 arguements, and only getting 3. I can copy whatever I need to a flash drive and read it on the DL320, so getting the files there is no problem. I've tried pulling the 6.1-CURRENT hiearchy down, and it won't build at all. Can you point me to the updated driver files?

Here's what I found: 1) The onboard ethernet chip driver in 6.1-release is buggy and will panic the system. Install and don't enable ethernet. Download the current bge driver from CVS, copy to a floppy, copy from floppy to server, recompile kernel. 2) Turn off the onboard SATA raid in BIOS, it uses adaptec microcode that isn't supported. If you want mirrored raid, there's a procedure that you can do to get it. 3) for some weird reason the system will hang during boot for up to TWO MINUTES. After it gets done doing whatever it's doing, it will continue booting. Install normally, don't do anything special. BIOS settings should be normal.
