Hi all, I got the previously mentioned Dell Poweredge 2850 with 4GB RAM and Perc4e raid controller. Installation went well and the raid is pretty fast even with level 5.
However I have another problem now... CentOS 5.2 only sees 256MB RAM. Googling a bit, got me to install kernel-PAE, this went well, but CentOS still sees only 256MB. Googling some more, I found a bios update was suggested and might do the trick. Checking what bios version the server had, revealed it was A02. Upon checking the Dell support site I saw they had a version A07, which I downloaded. The file was in bin format and executable via the CLI. Installation of the A07-version went well too with no errors, and it told me to reboot the machine to activate/start the update. Upon reboot, at post, it said the update failed. Now what?? I'm at a loss here. This is my first Dell Poweredge-server and I lack knowledge in the tricks-department with this one. What do I do now? Knowing the Dell-support, I turn to this list in hope of some useful hints in this matter. Thx for any insights. -- Best Wishes Sorin --------------------------------------------- http://home-skynet.servehttp.com/ Proud member of TEAM OS/2.
