Current versions of linux will not run on the Dell 6300. Doug Ledford is putting in a change for me in his aix7xxx driver so the driver will run. The code in the kernel that scans the pci bus is being changed as we speak to support scanning multiple buses. The 6300 has 3 and the current code does not scan all of the buses. So, we (Dell) are currently working on getting Linux to run on the 6300 and determining what kernel changes need to be made to make it work.
