Did you check the list archives? With 6.2: - Make sure you get revision 2 of the unit - bce(4) onboard is not recommended, easily reproduced crashes with high load a la Broadcom -- get add-on em(4) cards - DRAC5 works fine, except it runs Linux and requires ActiveX - PERC4 works with mfi(4), just remember: - Install linux32 compat to utilize megacli + mfi(4) patches - Disable 'Patrol Reads' in the BIOS - The jury is still out on PERC5. Sounds like Dell blowing smoke. - IPMI works well. ~BAS > Thanks > Navneet > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > > > > >
