1 Well,
2 I got rc5 loaded on a Netfinity x330 dual processor box with a ServeRaid 4M
3 controller today.
4 The cd booted and recognized all hardware, the eepro100 network card driver
5 was available as a module also.
6 The only problem I had was getting grub to work.
7 I have only been using grub for about a year, and this is the only system I
8 have been unable to get working. It kept complaining about the boot drive
9 not being available as a dos drive.
10 So I fell back to lilo. Which installed without a hitch.

12 On boot, the dhcp script oopses, complaining about a perminent lease, but
13 sets the address and dns correctly.
14 On shutdown the swap turn off oopses as well as the unmount file systems and
15 the dhcp complains about already being off.

17 Hopefully later this week I will get to try an install on a Netfinity x350
18 quad processor box, with a ServeRaid 4H controller.
