I downloaded version 7.5 of the firmware cd, but upon boot, it said that it didn't support my server (even though it is listed on the download page). So, I downloaded version 7.40 of the firmware disk, but this one didn't even boot.
I've tried just about everything to get both the bootloader...

Last night I reinsalled fedora, but installed grub to the first sector of the boot partition on one of my disks, instead of the mbr. Now, after the f10 prompt displays, it...

My friend got this server from his work when they upgraded everything. It's got a PIII 800Mhz proc. When it boots, it does not display any message on how to enter the BIOS. If I remove the battery, it says that it has encountered an unconfigured system, that the default config is used, and I...
