Im sure at least one person on this list will reply with
"Omg, i have that same box and have had no problems, you're dumb!!!"
I get it every time I interact with someone from
CentOS

Dell PE 6400/700, but it just wouldn't go without some weird tweaking.
I am VERY happy to say that CentOS 4.4 installed without a hitch!
NICELY done folks!
The only real issue for me is that the machine fails to reboot or shutdown
correctly.
It requires physical interaction with the power switch, which certainly
limits remote, headless administration!
A reboot (or shutdown -r now) follows through to " ", but the machine never
restarts - it appears to freeze (num-lock works, key-caps does not and
Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing) - I have to press and hold the power button to force
a restart.
I get similar results with telinit 6 (or init 6).
A shutdown works ever so slightly better, it gets to the " ", and does not
power off the machine, a simple press of the power button does power it
off.
Does ANYONE have ANY ideas?
OR point me in some direction?
Dell support is useless for an unsupported OS.
Machine info:
Dell PowerEdge 6400 quad Xenon 700Mhz CPUs, a Dell PERC/2 card (w/two RAID
5 containers), an Intel GB net card, and 2GB RAM.
