The scsi raid controller for the 650 was the PERC4/SC, which I believe is supported in Centos 5.4. I've put 5.4 on PERC4/DC based 2850s, at least. The CERC IDE controller fell off the bus a while back, but you wouldn't be migrating drives from that to a scsi card. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
