The DL380G5 uses bce instead of bge. I think you need to go up to 6.3 to get bce in the system. Try running FreeBSD 7.1 w COMPAT5 installed if its a binary that needs FreeBSD 5.4. /Bjorn _______________________________________________ freebsd-proliant@... mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-proliant To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-proliant-unsubscribe@..."

Rainer Hi Rainer I'm afraid it has to be 5.4 for now :( I think it should boot fine but I'm not sure if the on-board NIC and raid controller will work . B

"The bce device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.1." So if the chipset is supported it should work. We run 6.0 on a DL380G5 w P400 SA-card, but with another NIC. So I think that it will work. /Bjorn _______________________________________________ freebsd-proliant@... mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-proliant To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-proliant-unsubscribe@..."
