Hi,
after all, i can say, HEUREKA, FreeBSD 6.1-BETA2 is installed on my IBM Blade
Center. I used the AMD64 ISO.
I did the installation via Blade Center ManagementModul "Remote Control" and
booted the CD from my local workstation.
booting from CD, in bootmenu choose "6" and type:
unset acpi_load
load ispfw
load isp
set hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1"
boot
Normally FreeBSD should boot into sysinstall and keyboard should work.
Also, i got a problems to find a HD, but after loading "ispfw" and
"isp" (well, i think "ispfw" should be enough, this is not loaded in the
GENERIC Kernel) i see all my LUNs in the SAN.
Installation from CD did not work, due to input/outpu errors of /dev/cd0.
Sysinstall was also unable to mount /dev/cd0 to /dist.
But not a problem at all, i configured the network and did the installation
via FTP. Works smoothly.
So, after rebooting, systems will hang at "atkbd" and/or the QLOGIC Interface.
So, using the boot prompt and unset acpi, load ispfw and set atkbd (see
above).
/boot/loader.conf:
# turn off acpi
# see also /boot/device.hints
acpi_load="NO"
# QLOGIC FIBRE
ispfw_load="YES"
/etc/device.hints (add these lines at the end of the file):
# disable ACPI
#see also /boot/loader.conf
hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1"
So, reboot the system and just let it boot normally. It should work now.
Here is my dmesg.boot:
