I was hoping so. I was wrong on the tape drive though. it is the Dell (lx)4000 series. I have successfully installed an oracle express on a Debian workstation so hopefully the Full Oracle install will go well. thanks again -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

dell 6850
I just recently got a new Dell Poweredge 6850 with 14 disk array and 132t Tape library. Does anyone have any experience with this server? Are there any issues/problems to be aware of? It is planned to be a virtualization platform. Hopefully getting away from win2k3 on a few boxes. An Oracle database will be run on it. What would be a recommended config? thanks all -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Kernel for Dell 6850 Quad-Dualcore-HT (16 CPU), 8GB RAM server?
Hello I have to install Linux on this pretty cool server described in the subject but sadly all tried kernels fails with Softlockups, messages that only 8 CPUs are supported, not detecting the full 8GB of RAM or the RAID controller or just halting without any error message. As Dell only supports RedHat I wonder if anybody here has ever installed Debian on such a server and can provide a kernel config (2.6 preferred)?
