Hi all, I have been happily using a PE 2950 for a while now and decided to swap out its front 6 3.5" SATA drives for Seagate 2 TB Barracuda XT's. Well, I can't seem to get the controller card to recognize the drive in "bay 1" (second drive). The strange part is that once RHEL6 boots, about a minute after boot, the drive magically appears !?!?

The controller will recognize smaller sized drives though, including a 1 TB one. I recently ran OMSA update_firmware, so I believe I am up to date. Any ideas what would be causing this? thanks! daryl _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
