I don't have any ideas about these error messages, but... I am working with
a new Dell server (unfortunately not to be a new Gentoo box... yet). I
notice that they ship with a pre-install disk that will help bootstrap
installation, including some flavors of linux.

I believe it just configures the RAID array and some partitions, provides
the driver(s)... It then does some helpful things for the Windows Server
install... 

So maybe there's some boot magic for the linux flavors too? IDK.

Good luck,

Attached is the DMESG output for the Poweredge 6450. It has some megaraid 
errors that I've never
seen before. My googling seems not to work today:

Any ideas?

So far, it seems the problem is related to the fact that the CD-ROM drive is 
SCSI, and plugged to
the Adaptec controller (aic7xxx) the server has.

Any kernel command line parameters you think could help me out here?

Did a quick google and found:

http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2003-May/007682.html < 
suggests smp-acpi doscsi cdcache as boot options, but this is a Poweredge 6400.

The gentoo wiki page is a bit empty 
(http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Dell_PowerEdge_6450) might want to add some 
stuff if you get this working?

Hope this goes some way to help.
