I'm upgrading my servers/firewalls to HP ProLiant DL320 G5, and the
experience... isn't easy. First of all you need to allow acpi in an MP
kernel, otherwise it's slow and unstable (it's disabled by default and not
really documented).
Then you have couple more issues I couldn't resolve yet:
Fists - uhci (uhci4 in my case) giving an error during boot and shutdown:

had to disable all of them:

The second issue (maybe related to the first one) - iLO 2 Remote Console
(requires an iLO2 Advanced License) makes the OS (OBSD) to (deadly) hang
every time you connect. No error messages, no keyboard/IP response, doesn't
react to anything but hard reset signal. This is very sad, because the
ability to remotely manage/fix servers in case of serious errors was one of
the reasons to buy a brandname.
e> Which one's hardware better supported? Internal NIC's, SCSI
e> (Sun)/SATA(HP) controllers?
Integrated NICs are Broadcom (bge). Their support is not included into
floppy42.fs, which might be a (small) issue. There is also a problem with
speed autodetection if you plug the network cable after boot, but doing
ifconfig down/up resolves it.
SATA is recognized as wd, and working with speed of wd (PATA) - not very
fast. Shouldn't be an issue for a firewall (may be will slow down squid).
e> And if you had to choose - what would be your choice today?
I would get DELL. ;) But maybe they are just an unknown evil...
