4.8 on Proliant 8500

[Secureplay]

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave it another try and tried out a number
of different types of OSs in the Compaq configuration. Some worked better
than
others (Linux, Windows 2000 and a few others worked well) others such as
MSDOS 
locked up during the SMP initialization. I even went and reassigned some
IRQs by
hand.

Still no go. Those cards are invisible. I am about to give up and install
some
flavor of Linux. For my particular purpose, any Unix variant is okay, so
it's no
biggie. However I'd have liked to have a freebsd-only setup for this
particular
project (this is one of three servers, and the others -- Proliant DL360 G2
boxes --
run fbsd 4.8 without problems, and with the same Intel NIC.)

Just for curiosity's sake, here's my dmesg. If anyone sees something
suspicious,
please let me know. Yes, there is a problem with the SMP handling, but if
that
was the cuplrity, the cards should be seen in uniproc mode... (?).. There is
also
something wrong with the cdr, but that could be a dying drive.

Try playing with the Compaq config util and change the version of the OS.
Its likely that the mode you have it in now requires the OS to identify and
initialize the PCI-PCI bridge, or to initialize an additional Host to PCI
bridge.
