I started searching the web for information on this beast, never realising I had the thread sitting in my inbox :) I inherited a 6-way HP Netserver LT 6000r and I've been getting it to run 5.4-STABLE. If I let it boot by itself it hangs on the first of the following two lines (the second is never displayed) amrd0: 52095MB (106690560 sectors) RAID 5 (optimal) ses0 at amr0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0 (full dmegs output is at the end of this message). > Again, some serious kudos to the developers that make this happen!

I don't know about after the install, since I just left If I boot with APIC disabled, I get to multiuser mode without trouble.

In any event a make -j12 buildworld seems to zip along and the disk doesn't seem overly solicited (but that could simply be giant contention, I don't know what the current state of that is). I could post my kernel config file if there is interest. I have stripped out a lot of unnecessary stuff (// port, USB support, and other devices I'm not interested in). -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5896397 May 8 12:21 kernel.old/kernel -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3221170 Jul 1 16:10 kernel/kernel Thanks again to the -smp developers.
