How do I get NetWare 6.0 to successfully install?

with following steps,

∙copy linux-2.4.19.tar.gz to /usr/src/

∙run 'tar -xzf linux-2.4.19' to extract the kernel source

∙copy patch file to new kernel source directory /usr/src/linux-2.4.19

∙cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.19

∙gzip -dc patch-2.4.19-ac4.gz patch -p1

∙When booting the new compiled kernel run ‘hdparm –d1 /dev/hda’ and then the DMA will be enabled.

Note: The previous steps are similar to the normal linux kernel compiling procedure.

8) How do I get NetWare 6.0 to successfully install?

To successfully install Netware 6.0 SP1, the “Legacy USB support” option in BIOS (Advanced sub-menu) setup needs to be set to “Disabled”. If this is not set to “Disabled”, then a hang at the “initializing keyboard” screen will occur during the installation of the operating system. Also, a system hang may occur if a user goes into BIOS SETUP and enables the “Legacy USB support” after the operating system is installed.

Memory Questions

1) What memory configurations are supported on the SE7500CW2?

Server Board SE7500CW2 has slots for four 184-pin registered DDR-200/266 ECC SDRAM. The SE7500CW2 server board can support a minimum system memory configuration of 256MB (two sticks of 128MB) and a maximum system memory configuration of 4GB. Server Board SE7500CW2 supports SDRAM sizes of 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GBsingle or double-sided. Memory sticks must be identical and populated in pairs. Pairs are side-by-side starting with DIMM pair 1A and 1GB that are the furthest from MCH (closest to edge of board).

The SE7500CW2 has been designed to support 2GB memory modules allowing for a maximum main memory size of 8GB, however validation has not yet completed on these modules. Please refer to the SE7500CW2 support website at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/se7500cw2 for updates to this feature and for the latest revision of the tested memory list.

2)What kind of problems might occur in an SDRAM-based system that uses non- compliant DIMMs?

The most extreme example is memory failure, when the system hangs while booting. This can happen when the system is unable to communicate properly with the memory. In less extreme cases, the memory may generate intermittent errors or fail during stress. Always use memory from the Intel® Server Board SE7500CW2 Tested Memory List for maximum
