DL 380 works great here (with release 4.2). The ida driver is in GENERIC kernel, so you can simply install from CD.

This is changing, some quicker than others... but it's not easy to get a quad-processor server with Linux pre-loaded... from Compaq anyways :) # They ALSO have at least one Intel-based system running FreeBSD # in their testdrive center (although they do NOT sell preloaded # FreeBSD systems) Unfortunately... nor do they have any Alpha based workstations pre-loaded with FreeBSD like one of their Alpha test-drive servers :( # There is also the ida driver which supports the Compaq SmartRaid # controllers. Do you know which versions of the SmartRAID controller is supported. I do have a fairly old Compaq server running FreeBSD, but I would like to get it on a DL380 or something as a hefty mail/DNS server for work. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
