Known problems with NetWare are:

tip H176163 for details on a known shutdown problem:

With NetWare 6.0, the server may show extreme CPU utilization values (for
example, 13000%). This will be fixed with NetWare 6.0 Support Pack 2. See
RETAIN tip H176060 at:

The overall process is as follows:
1. Install NetWare and the Gigabit Ethernet driver
2. Apply the latest NetWare Support Pack
3. Install additional drivers
4. Add support for the RXE100
5. Enable Hyper-Threading
You will need the following device drivers:
Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet, from
http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-43369.html
Remote Supervisor Adapter, from
http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-42317.html
IBM Active PCI driver, from
http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR-42423.html
A new NetWare Bus Interface driver, NBI.NLM, from
http://support.novell.com/filefinder/ (search for NBIUP1.EXE)
To install NetWare 6 on x440, do the following:
1. Disconnect the RXE-100 if you have one attached. You should reconnect it
after the Support Pack is installed and before the NBI driver is installed.
2. Power on the x440 with bootable NetWare 6 CD in the CD-ROM drive.
3. Follow the NetWare installer screen instructions up to the device driver
screen, shown in Figure 4-10 on page 123. The NetWare installer cannot
detect the Broadcom Gigabit controller.
