Re: [SLE] suse 8.0 on a dell poweredge 6450

From: Chris Rouch

I'm having problems installing 8.0 on a dell poweredge 6450. The system has an adaptec 7490 scsi card and a megaraid raid controller. The controller has 3 disks attached, 2 of them mirrored, 1 standalone.

The hardware certification page for dell on www.suse.de says the following. Kernel should not be an issue though with 8.0. I forwarded your report to development. NOTES: Obligatory kernel update to kernel 2.4.16 release 20020115 from our: Maintenance Web Installation from CD-ROM works only with kernel parameter idedma=off!
