Hi,

SBUU does not support installation of CentOS.

You may try installing whatever is the latest Linux OS supported by SBUU i.e. RedHat 5.8 or 6.2 etc..

If you are looking for an older RedHat 6.0 version, you may need to use an older OM DVD which has that support.

Thanks,

Shashi.

Network driver is required for enabling the system NIC.  http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/04/Product/ � Open the above link and select you product with OS and Broadcom NIC details and download the supported driver rpm's and install on your System. � Thanks, Amit �

Hi, It will be as per the matrix defined. At present CentOS is not supported by SBUU. Thanks, Shashi.

By the way , I tried to install CentOS without SBUU and it 's done. but the problem was that CentOS doesn't see the "pass througt NICs" and couldn't have an IP from "broadcom switch B1,2 M6220" !!!

thank you for care and sorry for not good English
