DL380G2 instability

[Per olof Ljungmark]

Hi,

I have tried now for some time to get FBSD running on a couple of
DL380G2 with dual PIII 1.4G but never got it right. The boxes are
identical in both hw setup and the way they behave so I figured this may
be FreeBSD related, not a hardware fault.

Proliant DL380G2, 1G RAM, RAID5, built-in controller and nic's.
Tried 6.1-REL, 6-STABLE and -current as of a couple of weeks ago.


To sum it up:

1) ACPI and SMP enabled. The systems will do spontaneous reboots, the
more work they do the more often it happens.

2) ACPI disabled, SMP enabled. Systems will lock up hard as soon as any
serious work is done like compiling. Requires power cycling.

3) Uniprocessor seems ok at all times.

Have tried aslo various settings for MPTable+OS in BIOS but not much of
a change. Changed IRQ's. Reset BIOS.

Anyone out there who has this model running SMP OK?

TIA for any help,

Per olof
