Depending on age of the 1850s and it seems all the 1600s have an issue when Anaconda is trying to detect USB. Do a no usb install on those. Also, on the 1850, if you're using a raid card, you may need to disable the onboard raid as it can be touchy. Otherwise, I have 3000Rs, 1850Rs, DL360Rs (which i won't buy again as these have been the most unreliable) and DL380s, all happily chugging along on ver 3 and ver 4 installs. I did hit some snags with LVM conflicts. I think the proprietary scsi conflicted, but setting up with disk druid has always been reliable.

Let me guess, power supply fan failures on the 360's? If it helps, the newer ones have come a long way.
That's the start, but the replacement was supposed to be 'fixed'. But I don't understand it shutting down instead of issueing a warning when only one of the three PS fans dies. And all this happens almost to the day from manufacture. I had one in a colo situation where they had three... all made within a few months of one another and all had the same failures within those same months of one another.
Then next comes the processor fan........ then the power supply..... then ..... I just think they tried to make it too small (1u) personally. All in a nice clean room with good heating/cooling. The 380s seem to be light years ahead in superiority. I would hope the new 360s are better, but somehow I have my doubts. I'm hearing some grumblings about various blade servers being short lived as well. (and I don't mean 1u servers, even though compaq/hp like to call the 360s blades). I just feel like there are limits to what can be done in a given space... although on many things that space keeps getting smaller.
Gimme' a new version of the Proliant 7000!!! LOL!!! ;)
