Hi Henrique,
I use a kernel from version 3.2 that was sent to me by Peter for a
Poweredge 750. Its probably patched the libata patch. Right now because of my
floppy problem, I can't really tell if that kernel is going to work for the
850. Do you have PE750 as well of just 850 ? Were you able to get the 750 to
work ? I will take a look at upgrading to 3.6.2.
Bernard, does 3.6.2 solve the USB floppy problem or the SATA problem ?
Thanks for your help !
Simon

Hi Simon,
We also just bought a dozen of Dell PowerEdge 850's, but I'm having a lot of
trouble for the systemimager kernel to detect the SATA disks. Can you tell me
what kernel are you using ou how you managed to get the hard disks to be
detected?
Thanks in advance,
Henrique
PS: as for your problem, check out this site - http://www.simonf.com/usb/ - I
hope it helps!
