HP Compaq DL385 with Smart Array 6/i

[Fredrik Pettai <pettai%nordu.net@localhost>]

Hi,

We've tried installing NetBSD 4.0 on 2 HP Compaq DL385 with single and  
dual CPU configuration and the Smart Array 6/i controller. The obvious  
problem that occur is that the I/O towards the controller/disk is  
worthless.

Even the installer writes -stalled- while installing/copying the  
NetBSD base to the disk.

We've tried both NetBSD 4.0 i386 and amd64, and we've even tried  
NetBSD current amd64 (during the summer), but it's the same symptom on  
all versions.

Has anybody else seen this problem before? are there any fixes or  
workarounds available?

Regards,
Fredrik
