Can anyone share their experience with installing RHEL / Centos (latest production release) on the Dell 2950 (or 2900) with the quad-core e5310 processor? Does anyone know what chipset Dell is using on this box?
The 2950 works perfectly with Centos-4.4 (I've only ever used x86_64 though). The addon intel NIC might need the 4.4 kernel but the basic 2950 even works with 4.3.
As for chipset Dell uses the workstation flavour (5000X), here's some lspci -tv output:
