Re: ProLiant DL380 Frequent Lock-ups - SCSI driver?

["Joe Polk" <listuser javelinux com>]

Do you know what version the BIOS is? What Smart Start version did you build 
with? There is an issue regarding SS6.2 or 6.3 I'm not sure that I know 
causes system boots under Windows. I would start by updating the BIOS for 
sure. Are you using hardware RAID?
