Hi, I'm having problems installing any current version of Linux distros (CentOS 5.5, openSUSE 11.2, Ubuntu 10.04). They all freeze on DVD boot. Yet, I have no problem installing FreeBSD 8.0 or Windows 2008. After some Google'ing, I came across a few links:
1) http://fixunix.com/hardware/510693-lsi-logic-megaraid-cerc-ata-100-doesnt-de tect-disks.html 2) http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2006-April/025438.html Which led me to believe that the new Linux kernels doesn't support CERC ATA/100 RAID controller or the firmware v6.62 is broken for Linux... (?) I'd like to get a current version of a Linux distro (preferably CentOS or openSUSE) installed on this box for testing. Should I downgrade the firmware to 6.61 since I don't have another installation of Linux (physical or virtual) to do a kernel patch and then compile the module? Thanks for your help, Tommy _______________________________________________ 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
