Dell 1850?

[Harper Mann]

It might be best to relax and enjoy the "Dell experience" from the "server
assistant" CD.  

 

It's far easier than figuring out all the driver issues by hand.  I wouldn't
be surprised if Dell didn't publish it's drivers or published down-rev ones
which would be bad.

 

On the up side, I've not had problems with RHEL on 1850s after using "server
assistant". 

 

Best,

 

- Harper

The easiest thing to do is to download the latest updates from RedHat, burn
and use those CD's for installation. With this, you have the control and do
not need the Server Assistant CD.  The updates have the drivers... It works
fine.

Does anyone have any experience with the Dell 1850s and Red Hat Enterprise
3?  

I had previously used Dell 1650s and 1750s with no problem.  The RHEL 
install recognized the onboard RAID controllers.  But with the 1850 
Dell changed to the PerRAID 4d/SI, and RedHat doesn't seem to have 
integrated drivers for it. 

The bundled Dell "Server Assistant" CD wants to take controll over the 
RHEL install, which I don't like.  I tried to find the RAID drivers on 
the Dell website, but so far no luck.
