Just purchased two new Poweredge 700s, and have tried to install MDK 10.0C(ommunity)E(dition). Some interesting issues came up:

- I have installed same distribution on other (non-Dell) machines, with no problem (i.e. CDs are good)
- I have installed previous versions of various Linux distros on other Dell machines, with almost always good results
- when I am trying to install the MDK10.0CE on these new servers (both experience the SAME behavior!), the system boots just fine (i.e. the CDROM is being recognized!), goes through some initialization steps (beyond asking for install or upgrade), gets to installing the SCSI adapter drivers, then returns the following error message:


"No CDROM device found"

... and nothing can be done
- I have tried to install MDK 9.2 on these same new servers, and it goes just fine (except for not recognizing the NIC, which is something I may have to tweak manually ... perhaps Dell provided drivers ...)


In any case - has anyone experienced issues like the ones described above?
