Hi ,
We have 2 Dell poweredge 2400's - dual CPU , onboard hardware raid
controller with 5 SCSI disks doing RAID 5 on each. One Has NT & one
has Redhat 6.1, never had a problem with them except a stock standard
Redhat CD will not detect the onboard hardware raid controller, you
have to use Dell's Redhat 6.1 cd which has a modified kernel to
install.
This could have changed as it was 6 months ago when I set it up.
