Hello all,

We got second hand Dell PE1950s and I am trying to install SL55/64b
on one of them.

I tried with Kickstart, then with a DVD and I get identical behaviour :
The mk2fs command hangs at 90% at the "writing superblocks" stage.

As the machine successfully boots when I insert the harddrive of
previous generation server, I could see what lspci reports for the
SCSI controller :

01:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E 
PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08)

=> Has someone encountered the same problem and what can I do ?

Thank you.

JM
