I need to add a NIC to the PCI-X slot(s) of Proliant to communicate to the UPS. First, I tried an RTL8139 board. It would not POST ('bus master error'). This goes to RTL // HP. Next, an original Intel xln. It was recognized, the Proliant asked for the change in boot order, I could allocate an irq. Everything fine. Booting, however, results in a crash; the board is not recognised (if it isn't, why can it crash ?). In any case, the NIC does not show, and the box automatically re-enters BIOS-boot after a few seconds after rpc. I tried twice; and twice the same effect: auto-reboot.
Question: Anybody out there with a successful addition of a NIC to that machine ? Anything else to recommend ? (I don't have a 905 on hand, so I couldn't try that one.) Uwe dmesg, the last four lines are the automatic reboot: booting hd0a:/bsd: 4846336+944176 [52+249680+230986]=0x5fb274 entry point at 0x100120 m [ using 481092 bytes of bsd ELF symbol table ] Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 The Regents of the University of California.
