X Window Fails Intermittently
Description The acpid daemon leaks file descriptors whenever a connected client is disconnected, or the
acpid configuration file is broken. This leads to X window failing intermittently.
Workaround This issue can be resolved using the acpid-1.0.4-7 package, available with Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5 Update 3.
You can also download the latest drivers from dell.com/support.
Virtual Media With DRAC 4P Or DRAC 4I Is Not Recognized In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Update 2
Description On Dell PowerEdge systems with Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) 4/P or DRAC 4/I, virtual
media is inaccessible as the required drivers are not available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Update 2.
NOTE: To access virtual media after resetting the DRAC, rescan the SCSI bus by typing
echo "scsi remove-single-device Y 0 0 0" /proc/scsi/scsi
echo "scsi add-single-device Y 0 0 0" /proc/scsi/scsi, in a
console.Y is the SCSI host number of the virtual CD device. It can be found by reading the/
proc/scsi/scsi file and finding the line Host: scsiY that corresponds to the virtual CD.
Workaround Download the latest drivers from the Drivers and Downloads section at dell.com/support.
Installation Fails On Systems With 10G Base-T Single Port Intel 82598AT Adapter
Description Installation of RHEL 5 update 7 fails on Dell PowerEdge systems with 10G Base-T Single Port
Intel 82598AT adapter.
Workaround Download and install the latest drivers from dell.com/support.
Cause This issue occurs when a stack corruption in the NIC driver results in a kernel panic and
renders the system unresponsive.
CAUTION: The issue also occurs on an installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 2
system if the particular Intel adapter is plugged in and the network capability for the
adapter is started. In this environment the issue may result in data loss because of the
driver initiated kernel panic.
iSCSI Boot May Not Occur With Certain iSCSI Target iqn Names
Description Booting a system that has the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 2 operating system installed
on a remote iSCSI logical unit number (LUN) may not occur with certain iSCSI target iqn
names.
Workaround
The issue does not occur when the target iqn names have a longer section at the end. For
example, iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk2.sys1.xyz.
