For those with login probs… it took me a while to realize this was all hooked-up to PAM so I just used the root login/pwd. I think the “admin” account parms are ignored.

I have the same trouble on my PE860.
I have SAS RAID controller et it does not recognised.

I install mpt-status to show information, but I can not see SAS controller on the web interface.

I install OMSA 5.5.

I edited the /opt/dell/srvadmin/iws/config/iws.ini to something other then Admin/admin, but I can not log in into the web-interface.

Comment on How To Dual Boot FreeBSD and Windows XP using GRUB by argv

If you know what which OS you will boot next… e.g. you work in BSD most of the time and boot to XP occasionally to do some things… there is another way.

You simply move the boot flag (0×80) to the OS (partion) you want to boot.

Each OS has it’s own tool(s) to do this safely and quickly.

e.g.

BSD –> fdisk -B

XP –> ‘3parted.exe’ exefrom PLoS Linux site or tools from ‘the starman’ site

Linux –> GNU fdisk or GNU parted

This alternative method obviates the need for Grub and allows you to keep the Windows MBR unmolested.

Hi Ubergeek,

title FreeBSD
root (hd0,1,a)

Considering you have only one harddisk and two windows style (primary) partitions, if FreeBSD is on second partition or slice of that single harddisk, shouldn’t it be /dev/ad0s2, instead of /dev/ad1s1? Your grub entry is correct. ad1s1 is first slice of second harddisk not second slice of first harddisk.

Matt, I have the same problem. I’m using a Dell R300 server with Debian Lenny. When I try to restart the dataeng, something goes wrong with the networking. If I have someone restart the networking, I can connect again (ssh). Another odd thing is that nothing shows up under storage. It doesn’t show the SAS RAID controller. I have installed this on 3 other dells and it worked fine. The others were 2650 and 2950 servers.

Did you find any solution to this?

Regards,
Gordon
