Hi All
We've just purchased a Dell PowerEdge SC1425 Server. The server comes with a Auto Install cd for Windows and RedHat Linux. When I try and install SLES9 (32 Bit) on the server, it picks up that there is no hard drive installed. Does anyone out there know what driver I need in order to pick up the hard drive and or alternatively how to install SLES9 on this server?
Please use the latest service pack of SLES9 and boot from the first service pack CD, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 Disclaimer "Everything in this e-mail and attachments relating to the official business of Medscheme Holdings ( Pty ) Ltd ( Reg Number 1970/015014/07 ) is proprietary to the company.
