BTX halted

[Ian Lord]

Hi,

I'm trying to install freebsd 7 AMD64 on a HP Proliant DL380 Server (3gig
ram, Dual Xeon 3.06GHZ)

All firmware are up to date, and there is no memory problem or known problem
(Based on extended diagnostic of the system)

I installed windows 2003 to update the firmware without any problem.

When I boot from the freebsd cd, I see the BSD Boot Menu
As soon as I get into "Boot freebsd" or "Boot freebsd safe mode" or "Boot
freebsd verbose mode" or "freebsd acpi mode d

There is a dump on the screen and the last line is btx halted.

I retyped the screen dump hoping someone could help me:

Any help would be really appreciated

Hi,

Regards
~~~

I just downloaded i386 version of freebsd and I was able to get into the
setup menu. Would it be possible that my server is not compatible with AMD64
version of freebsd ?

It is compatible with linux AMD64 version though...

As anyone managed to run freebsd 7.0 AMD64 on a dl380 G3 ?

Thanks

Correct - a dl380 3.06 is a P4 Xeon, ie the old xeon... 32-bit.
Linux detected that and ran a 32-bit kernel.
