Hi!

I tried to install Debian on the new PowerEdge 2650 from Dell. The boot stop
just after the sym53c416.c driver. Hard is frozen. I need to remove power
cord.

I tried with 2.2r6, rescue disks from disks 3.0.23 and last burn of the
Woody CD-ROM. I've got the same problem each time.

I've build a Kernel-2.4.18 rescue disk without sym53c416 and the server
boot. The same disk with kernel-2.2.20 stop at the Megaraid driver and crash
(timeout).

Unfortunaly, my custom rescue disk do not work well with the rest of the
install process. I've a loop with Configure device Driver Module.
