Re: [CentOS] Allocaation resource error (DELL Optiplex 755)...
Hi, I had EXACTLY the same problem, running Fedora 8 (64-bit) on a Optiplex 755 with 4Gb and a 8600GT. You should update you DELL bios to rev A07 (released about a month ago) then it works. There's a know bug in bios A04 and lower.

Hi Michel, Thanks for the tip. You were spot on. I updated the BIOS to A08 and it works fine now.
