The only issues I had with these systems involved tweaking my kickstart files to use sda instead of hda and tweaking the BIOS to get the disks to show up. (The BIOS shipped with the SATA interface doing RAID with magic drives and then AHCI, and I had to change it to RAID/ATA.) I haven''t tried the final release yet, nor have I tried it on any older machines, but I probably will soon.

I do note the initrd and vmlinuz are definitely not the same as with beta, so fingers are crossed. However, I''m running Compaq DL360/380 rather than Dell... -Alan -- Alan Sparks, Sr. UNIX Administrator asparks@quris.com Quris, Inc. (720) 836-2058
