ProLiant DL380 (G7) Panics on boot of FreeBSD 7.3

[Gavin Spomer]

Hi Doug, 

Do you have your ILO2's setup? If so, does it indicate any kind of hardware failures? 

Last November, one of my new DL380 G6's started having kernel panics. I applied the latest BIOS updates, but was still having the problem. Once I had our campus network engineers setup the DNS for the ILO2, I was able to see that there was a failing array controller. From what *little* I know, FreeBSD kernel panics often indicate a hardware problem of some sort. 

I don't know how helpful this is, but I thought I'd try.

Hello
On a new HP Proliant DL380 G7 booting FreeBSD 7.3 from CD panics.

I have tried many of the suggestions available on the internet. Local USB CD
on different CD ports.

Upgraded all the relevant BIOS.

Installed a different OS (if that means anything)

I know the DL360 G7 boots and loads FreeBSD 7.3 OK.

I see there is one PR in about this but no follow up. I am not sure if I can
get the stack trace suggested in the PR.  PR misc/152604

Is anybody running the DL380 G7 with FreeBSD 7.3?

Or know any BIOS setting that could be the cause.

thanks
