R415 doesn't work with x86 Linux?

2010-11-01 Thread Drew Weaver
Is there some kind of architecture limitation that makes the PowerEdge R415 not work with x86 versions of Linux? For example both CentOS 5.5 and Fedora 13 x86 kernel panic when attempting to install. It seems that CentOS 5.5 x86_64 works fine though. Any thoughts? _
