Works fine Dell R320/ Dell R420 with NetBSD?

[Jose Luis Rodriguez Garcia]

Does NetwBSD work fine with these two servers: Dell R320 and Dell R420?

The would have a PERC H310 RAID card for the two internal disks.

We don't have any R320, but I have tested NetBSD on R710, R610 and R310 and the latter (with the same raid controller you suggested) works without any quirks from at least NetBSD 5.0 ->

The R610 broadcom/intel quad card we use could in some cases lock up the system:

(This doesn't have to be specific to the R610…)

I had to change a heat sensor default on the R710:

This is old PR related to R310 with a simpler controller:

I don't think it's fixed yet, but the R310 running NetBSD 7.0_BETA doesn't seem to have the horrible disk slowness compared to the situation before. I should probably revisit this PR…

HTH,
