[SDBUG] dell poweredge 2550

[Matthew Szubrycht]

Brian, 

I have several Dell PowerEdge 2850 boxes running 6.0 & 6.1 on hardware RAID
5 with no problems.  I am not sure if this info will help you, but I hope it
will.

Cheers,
Matt

I was able to install and boot opensuse so I don't believe this is a 
hardware problem.  I was searching the questions archive and found 
matches about 2550 ether and someone whose box started to panic.  I'll 
probably post there soon.
