PowerEdge 2950, BIOS, 2.0.1

Question

Hi, all.   I just ran into a problem today after upgrading a PE 2950 to BIOS version 2.0.1.  It appears I now have IRQ conflicts between the USB ports and the PCI slots.   This system has an Intel PCI installed.  Everything was working fine until after I ran SUU 5.3 to update the system.  The Intel NIC shows up in the Device Manager with a yellow bang.  I tried uninstalling and re-installing the NIC drivers with no success.  Next step is to downgrade to 1.5.1.   Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there a fix?   I'm starting to think that the SUU 5.3.0 release is no good.     Thanks in advance for your help,   - Selke

Hi, all.   This morning, I cleared NVRAM...no help.  Downgraded BIOS...no help.  Tried different drivers...no help.   What finally fixed it?  I removed power for a minute and cold booted.  All is right in the world again.   I re-upgraded BIOS back to version 2.0.1 and made sure the Intel drivers were back up to date.  Still working just fine.     Go figure...  :smileyhappy:
