Known Problems

RHEL5 kdump problems - On some hardware, devices need to be reset during the load of the kdump kernel. If you have problems with kdump, you may need to edit the /etc/sysconfig/kdump file and add reset_devices=1 to the KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND variable. This setting will be the default in RHEL5.2.

Known Hardware Failures

MegaRAID SAS driver - It is required that the nodelay=1 module load option of the megaraid_sas module be specified (and mkinitrd subsequently run). This problem has only been observed on Dell systems with a PERC 5/i controller. Bug 250266.
nVidia SATA controler fails to boot - This issue is seen on HP xw9300 Viper.
QLogic FC failing under load - adapters using the qla2xxx drivers are experiencing bugs under load. This issue has been observed on Dell Power Edge 1850 with PCI-X. This is being worked on at Qlogic. Bug 316691.
