Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD9 (64bit) on a HP Proliant server (ProLiant DL385 G1). Installation is done via remote-management ("iLO") basically by mounting the Installation-ISO. However a couple of seconds after booting the box crashes. Here's what I tried already: o) Re-download the installation ISO - same checksum - same result o) Instead of booting directly I issued the following two commands on the loader prompt: set kern.eventtimer.periodic=1 set kern.eventtimer.timer="LAPIC" followed by "boot" Neither of these helped. To cross-check I tried booting of a FreeBSD 8 installation media - no problems at all (besides that the machine is running FreeBSD8 currently without problems) Any clue what could be wrong here and what I can do in order to make this box boot from the installation media? Thanks much in advance for your help, -ewald
