technical details, but this covers at least a dual-core Opteron with an LSI53C1030 SCSI controller (I have dmesg from Red Hat on this machine if anyone's interested) as well as Core 2 Duo machines.My guess is that the server has stuff that Sarge (current stable) doesn't work with. Etch may (I would guess will). However, Etch isn't stable so a server maker isn't going to support that. Why not make an Etch netinst.iso and take it to the server and try it?
Sadly, they won't do that for me (though I suggested it myself -all our other boxes are upgraded immediately to Etch as soon as we get them) and Servermatrix live several thousand miles away from SteffHQ, ruling out a visit in person. Damn shame they're being so unhelpful about this, as they've otherwise been excellent.
