Hi, A company bought 3 of these and had issue installing FreeBSD on them (I'm currently off site) saying it hung very early in the boot process from CD for 6.2 amd64 and the monitor went blank. Can anyone here comment on their experiences with this ? I've included some links below too. http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=04&kc=6W300&l=en&oc=bscwek1&s=bsd Dual Core 2216 Processor; 2X1MB Cache, 2.4GHz Opteron, 1Ghz HyperTransport for PowerEdge SC 1435 Dual Core Opteron 2nd Processor, 2x1MB Cache, 2.4GHz 1Ghz HyperTransport for PowerEdge SC 1435 4GB Memory, 4x1GB, 667MHz, Single Ranked DIMMs Broadcom TCP/IP Offload EngineNot Enabled Riser with 1 PCIe Slot for PowerEdge SC1435 250GB, SATA, 3.5-inch 7.2K RPMHard Drive SAS 5IR SAS, PCI-Express Internal RAID Adapter On-Board Dual Gigabit Network Adapter, No TOE 24X IDE CD-RW/DVD ROM Drive for PowerEdge SC 1435 Bezel for PESC1435 250GB, SATA, 3.5-inch 7.2K RPMHard Drive Add-in SATA/SAS controller, 2 Hard Drives, RAID 1, PowerEdge SC1435 Sliding Rapid/Versa Rails and Cable Management Arm,Universal http://www.freebsdsystems.com/sata2_rackserver_multicore.php Seems to validate the video card an ATI ES1000 16MB is okay. http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-hardware/2006-December/004103.html seems to say it works in general.
