I've not dinked with them in a couple of weeks, but the PERC card in them is a new revision, so you'll have to go with very recent (FC3 T3 or later) builds. I also ran into some issues where the megaraid drivers weren't getting loaded by anaconda / getting put into the initrd, so you had to do a bit of handholding of the install and first boot to get it to go. I think Jeremy got all those issues straightened out now though. FC2 and older and Debian you can only install on them by building your own install kernel (because of the updated megaraid driver requirement). RHEL, SUSE 9.x, and SLES all have update disks available which support them. I also noticed some oddities with the Fedora x86_64 kernel at the time on them (memory leaks) that went away when I switched to using kernel.org kernels. I've not had time to look into that further or to see if current Fedora x86_64 kernels behave better on them.... At any rate, no insurmountable issues, but perhaps not 100% "start the kickstart and walk away" (it may have reached that point by now, but it wasn't there 3 or so weeks ago). later, chris
