may need to restart the system.

Operating system installation issues:

* Installation of legacy Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems

may fail due to lack of support for new hardware. You should

modify the '%post' section of "ks.cfg" to update to a newer

version of the kernel or install the drivers from this section.

* The default root password for Linux installation is "root123."

This could be changed to be encrypted in the template "ks.cfg"

provided.

* The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system installation may

fail on systems equipped with multiple RAID and/or SCSI

controllers, whether installed on the system board or in PCI

slots. This failure may occur when using "Server Setup" or

performing a manual installation. When two or more RAID or

SCSI controllers are present, install Red Hat Enterprise

Linux with only one configured RAID or SCSI controller.

Configure the other controllers after you install the Red

Hat Enterprise Linux operating system.

Instrumentation issues:

* The "/opt/dell/srvadmin" directory in the DTK ISO image should be

writable. This enables the instrumentation services to

work properly.

* The file "omreg.cfg" should be present in the "/etc/" directory

for the tools to function properly. This is applicable if DTK

is being customized to fit in an embedded Linux environment

other than the Dell-provided embedded Linux.
