Hello, today I tried to migrate a FreeBSD 6.1 installation from an ordinary PC machine to an IBM Blade HS21 server. The server is a brand new machine with two Dual Core Xeon 5130 processors, two 72GB SAS drives.
When I try to boot FreeBSD (either from USB disk with the installation I am trying to move, either from FreeBSD 6.2 disc 1 installation CD-ROM) the kernel doesn't load in full. It finds the USB disk, the SAS disks, but then stops here: Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec and nothing happens any more. Any ideas what might be causing the halt? If I try to press power button, I get the message that the ACPI command was ignored, or something (I guess this is because kernel didn't load completely). Any ideas what I might try? Oh, when I try to boot from CD-ROM, I get one more line, but I don't know exactly, it is something about md0 is initialised or something. And then it stops again. I really need to get this working or some people will be very angry. I thought FreeBSD must run on "so popular" IBM blades, right? Thanks for your help. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
