Problem with IBM xSeries 226 with ServeRAID 6i+...
I'm having a serious problem with my IBM xSeries servers. I have several
in the field working properly, using ServeRAID 6i controllers with
firmware v7.00.14. However, I just recently ordered two new ones, and
now I can't get them to work. The controller is a 6i+, with firmware
v7.00.17.
Using stock 5.3 Boot CD or floppy, I get as far as the IPS driver
resetting the controller, which appears to work (the drive lights flash
as though the controller is resetting). Then nothing. The system hangs,
the fans slow down, nothing ever happens.
If I boot in Non-ACPI mode, it's the same thing. However, if I boot in
Safe Mode, it works perfectly. I've even managed to install the OS onto
the system. However, in Safe Mode, I have no network adapters, so the
server becomes instantly useless.
Any help would be appreciated. Requests for more detail will be answered
promptly.

least, it boots - I'm doing an install now, but I wanted to let you know
right away.
Anything we could do to get this system running properly under 5.4, let
me know - because we're paying lease payments two servers that we can't
use at the moment, until we can boot FreeBSD on them. (damn IBM and
thier end-of-life cycles)

adapter, make take 5 minutes" - then nothing. System just hangs. Also,
after that point, hitting the power button will not power-off the
machine (of course, holding it in will). Anytime before that point,
hitting the power button will turn the power off instantly.
