I have been installed CENTOS 5.2 on several DELL servers and have following problems (even latest patches apply):
DELL 2650 can NOT boot under CENTOS 5.2 PAE mode
DELL R900 can NOT boot under CENTOS 5.2 PAE mode (inifinite boot loop)
DELL R900 with 128 GB RAM can only see 15 GB RAM under CENTOS 5.2 Xen
mode
Anyone know why? IS CENTOS 5.2 certify with DELL server?
Does CENTOS 5.1 have similiar problem or NOT?
Thanks.
Did you try a 64 bit install?
Do you have to turn on PAE in the bios on those servers? I have HP servers that you have to enable PAE or it doesn't work.
And CentOS isn't really "certified" with anything. Free distros don't usually pay to be certified. But if it is listed to work on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.2 then CentOS should also work.
