asterisk users - Jul 2005 - SOLVED: TE410P card in an HP-Compaq DL380 G4 server

Hi to all out there using HP DL380 G4 servers,

i found a way to get the Digium TE410P with older firmware running on a
HP-Compaq DL380 G4 Server! Here's the step-by-step description:

1. download the latest BIOS (in my case it was 4.04 from date:
06/02/2005) for
the HP-Compaq DL380 G4 using the
"Systems ROMPaq Firmware Upgrade Diskette for HP ProLiant DL480 G4 (P51)
Servers"

Link:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/69_5561.html#2

2. extract the ROMPaq to a diskette and upgrade your server by the
instructions
appearing during the BOOT from Diskette

3. after you have switched on the server again, press F9 to enter the
"ROM-Based Setup Utility" when prompted

4. Go to "Advanced Options" and DISABLE
"Legacy SERR for PCI Express" option

5. exit the Setup by pressing "ESC" and "F10" to reboot the
server

i have put my TE410P into Slot 2 in the PCI-X Riser Cage

i cannot say for sure that it is stable but after a few tests it
works for me using kernel-smp-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.i686.rpm and
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.i686.rpm. i used zaptel from
CVS of today (07/21/2005).

just for your info, Peter, my dmesg command shows:

"TE410P version c01a009b"

Hope this helps you, folks!

Best regards,
Roland

 What is your dmesg output when you fire up the card.

 There were some problems with TE410P and the intel chipset used in the
DL380 G4's.

 You need firmware at least 'TE410P version c01a010b'

 Contact Digium and RMA if you have older firmware (basically the
symptom
will be everything
 is ok, but the never generates an interrupt under /proc/interrupts

 Cheers,
  Peter

Hello list,

Did anyone already get the T410P card running in an
HP-Compaq DL380 G4 server? If yes, how?

I'm using Fedora Core 3 with 2.6.11-1.35_FC3smp Kernel package.

Thanks in advance,
Roland

Which is great news.  Of course, at the time we were battling back in 
January, this BIOS update was 6 months in the future!
