>Description:
Standard installation fails.  Depending on what I try, the kernel will either fail to be recognised, or a System Halted message will be displayed.

If I run Fixit from CDROM 2, I can mount the RAID (/dev/ridad0), and I have tried placing different kernels I have compiled on another machine onto the compaq, but nothing has worked.

 More detail on both of those conditions would be good.  Could you copy
 down exactly what is displayed on screen?
 
 There are _loads_ of questions and answers about these Proliant machines
 in the FreeBSD questions archives.  It seems that the ones that tend to
 get answered are the ones with a detailed description of the hardware
 and dmesg(8) output.

 Since you seem to be able to get as far as Fixit, you're obviously able
 to boot a kernel.  If you could send the output of the dmesg(8) command
 (which shows the kernel boot probe messages), that'd be very helpful.

 The more detail about exactly _what_ kernel configurations you've tried
 and exactly what output you get from them which indicates that they're
 not working, the better your chances of getting someone with a clue
 interested. :-)
 
 Make sure that your feedback is copied to
 <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org> and preserves this subject line.
 
 Ciao,
