I have made some experiences on a Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy RX300 (Serverworks, Xeon with HyperThreading, MegaRAID) today. I was able to boot the 5.2-BETA ISO from CD-RW after being unsuccessful with floppies yesterday (not that I'd particularly trust floppies...) Here's what I've found so far: 1. KEYBOARD LOST I need to explicitly escape to the loader prompt and set hint.atkbd.0.flags=0 -- with the default of 0x1, I am unable to use the keyboard (tried twice, without and with re-plugging the keyboard, to no avail). The exact reason is unknown, the machine has remote management hardware on board which might interfere. Can this flags=0 be made the default or would that interfere with USB keyboard and headless configurations? 2. LOCK ORDER REVERSAL I let the machine buildworld, build a kernel and cvsup ports+doc at the same time through screen. Both buildworld and the kernel make were launched with "-j2". The machine then caught a LOR, but it may have happened after these tasks completed, neither make nor the cvsup reported an error. Here's the dmesg: FreeBSD 5.2-BETA #0: Tue Nov 25 08:24:08 GMT 2003 root_at_wv1u.btc.adaptec.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC Preloaded elf kernel "/boot/kernel/kernel" at 0xc0a76000.
