KNOWN ISSUES
######################################################################
RAIDCFG Issues:
* If you delete a virtual disk on PERC 4I/M on Windows PE, you need
to reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
* Perform copy operations using "XCOPY" because the DOS "COPY"
command may fail when copying across a network share. The message
"invalid file handle" may be displayed. This issue is an
intermittent error that is usually caused by the network connection.
If the problem persists, check your network settings.
SYSCFG Issues:
* The Demand-based Power Management (DBPM) option does not work on
PowerEdge 1855 with BIOS versions earlier than A05.
* The suboption for "powerctl," which is "softshutdown," does not
work in Windows PE.
* On PowerEdge 700 systems, the console redirection option in the
BIOS has the arguments "off," "serial port 1," and "RAC;"
the equivalent arguments in DTK are "off," "serial port 1,"
and "serial port 2."
When the argument is set to "serial port 2" in DTK, the option
corresponds to "RAC" in the BIOS setup.
* The "--solbitrate" option in "solcfgparams" and the
"--mgscommbitrate" option in "serialcfgparams" accept a baud rate
of 57600, but tools such as "ipmish" and "solproxy" do not
function at that baud rate for PowerEdge systems.
RACADM Issues:
* If you use virtual media to boot into Windows PE, executing
certain RACADM commands may cause Windows PE to crash.
Windows PE Installation Issues:
* If virtual flash is enabled and does not contain a valid image
(for example, if the virtual flash contains a corrupt or
random image), you may not be able to install Windows 2000 or
Windows 2003 locally or remotely. To fix this issue, install
