Is anyone from Dell on list? I am trying to get a question answered regarding a
bug and the support wall is so strong.
Thanks,

I hate replying to my own posts, but I downloaded the SLI iso and converted it
to a pxeimage. It's 1.8GB which is way too large but I noticed that it has a
ramdisk for /var/cache/yum, is this where dsu automatically writes everything?

If you install firmware-nonfree it should see the bnx2 NICs.
You may have to use backports (makes installing hard) or specify a driver for
it to detect the raid co
It probably also will not see your NIC card.

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?

I should mention we have never had this issue when we weren't running the
servers with 1 Disk RAID-0 VDs.
We have hundreds of systems with RAID-1, etc that all work perfectly.

Hi,
We have a CentOS 5.5 server that has two disks that are 'not raided' connected
to the backplane.
Dell support told us to create 1 disk RAID-0 volumes when we need to do this
since there is no way to just have the drive pass through (like the SAS
controllers do).
I have noticed that a lot

Hi,
We ordered several R310s without DRAC cards because they are supposed to be

works. It seems totally insane to me that there is no way

They're all but indicating that they don't want server business with their

Has anyone found any way to netboot the PE R410 /w Debian 5?
Seems like the NICs aren't supported, I have the latest (non-respin) release

Ubuntu and Redhat work perfectly fine.
