Hi,
I'm having a hard time trying to install FreeBSD9 (64bit) onto a HP
ProLiant BL465c G1 (Blade-System):
The boot process (booting from CD) runs up to the point where it says
usbus0: 12Mbps Full Speed USB v1.0
usbus1: 12Mbps Full Speed USB v1.0
usbus3: 12Mbps Full Speed USB v1.0
usbus3: 480Mbps Full Speed USB v1.0
Then - freeze :-(
No keyboard interaction possible - only power-cycle
helps.
I've tried booting in verbose mode but with all those
messages scrolling by so quickly and the system finally
freezing I can't get much help out of them.
Next I tried booting from the Installation .ISO
with "ACPI off". This time I got a "KBD stack trace"!
Anybody out there seen this before?
Any cure/help to get FreeBSD running on this blade system?
(Please note that I've got a bunch of similar blades
running under 8.2 - no problems)
I've put two screenshots showing that happens on the net
under
http://www.jenisch.at/freebsd-9-no-acpi-crash-screenshot.jpg
and

respectively.
Thanks much in advance for your help!
