Hi! I try to boot from CDROM with FreeBSD on IBM xServer x3250 M4 (P/N 2583-72G), but it always crash with message: "NMI ISA b8, EISA ff RAM parity error, likely hardware failure". Attempts to install 8.3, 9.0, 7.3 / i386, amd64 - result always was the same. Screenshot of the crash is here: http://tmp.lehis.ru/img/IMAG0339.jpg When ServeRAID BR10il ( P/N 49Y4737, photo - http://tmp.lehis.ru/img/IMAG0346.jpg ) was removed from server it boots normally with any version of FreeBSD. This RAID controller detects as mpt0: mpt0: <LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter> port 0x3000-0x03ff mem 0xc1b10000-0xc1b13fff, 0xc1b00000-0xc1b0ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci31 mpt0: [ITHREAD] mpt0: MPI Version=1.5.20.0 Firmware is the latest. On this server (with inserted ServeRAID BR10il) successfull was installed Centos, so BR10il seems good. Question: Can I do something with it for install FreeBSD, except replace RAID-controller? -- Simple Lehisnoe ;-)

Screenshot of the crash is here: http://tmp.lehis.ru/img/IMAG0339.jpgThis looks very much like what I had with a Dell server with a mpt controller. Unfortunately, I didn't collect the information on the controller chip. CentOS also worked fine on the machine (so that was what I left it running with). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
