good day all ...
we have one of these systems from penguin computing. it has 8GB ram and a full complement of U320 scsi disks. i am having stability problems with every OS i've put on: SLES8/SP9.0 and SP9.1. the system seems to install correctly but always seems to fail on reboot the first time in a rather inconsistant state. has anyone been able to get this hardware config running under suse? the hdama bios is at 1.84 and the megaraid bios is G112 and the server bios is 3.6 i think. i could really use a sanity check on this one, thanks!
Hi, I have two of these motherboards, one with 8GB ram and an Adaptec ASC-29320 and one with 4GB ram and 3ware Escalade 7508 IDE-raid. Both running with SLES 8, both stable. I have noticed on the one with 8GB ram that it's _very_ picky about the quality of ram. IIRC there has been 64bit issues with the LSI controller, have you checked for an updated driver version?
