Hello,
has anyone sucessfully installed Potato on a Dell PowerEdge 4300
with the PERC 2/SC controller? I have tried to install it a few times
now, first with the Potato 2.2r2 standard rescue disk, but it pauses
indefinitely after detecting the PERC 2 (AMI) controller. Next I tried
using the standard rescue disk with a 2.2.18 kernel rebuilt with support
for the megaraid controller. This works up to the point where the file
system is written to the drive when the kernel reports controller
timeout errors and the install aborts.
I have gone to Dell's site and AMI for further infomation, but have
not come up with anything relevant information. If anyone has any
pointers it would be very appreciated.
PowerEdge 4300, 196 MB RAM, Dell PERC 2/SC (AMI Megaraid) Bios Revision
U77 with 32 MB RAM, 4 4Gb drives in Raid 3 configuration.
The server is down for hard drive upgrades and I just wanted to compare
the speed of the server with Samba file sharing before Novell 4 goes
back on it (so this is not important really)
Thanks
William
