Patrick, Its a no go for me... I used 4.3-Stable dated both Jun 21st and Jun 1st... did you use another version? Also, I have the Dell PE Expandable Raid controller 3/Di, Bios V2.5-0 --- is this the same as the one that you have? Bios Revision A04 Embedded Server Management Firmware 5.34 Primary System Backplane 1.24 Could be something else causing the problem if we have the same exact SCSI setup... I assume you purchase was recent as well. Thanks so much, Barbara Patrick Guerin wrote: > Barbara, > > Install 4.3-STABLE and you'll be fine.
