I’ve installed Fedora Core 6 on Dell PowerEdge 4600 before and this whole week I’ve been trying to upgrade the previous installation to Fedora 10. However, I can’t get it running on the box. The installation went smoothly without any error but whenever I have to reboot the system to complete the installation, it cannot load the newly installed OS. I kept getting many types of errors, SCSI…PS/2…boot…dev/sda…fail…bla..bla..and bla…I have no idea how to eliminate all of those stupid warnings. I’ve tried fixing the bios, boot, RAID config, etc. but it seems that everything that I’ve done were not working. The errors are still there! damn!…I’m getting tired with those stupid servers! I’ve got 3 boxes to be set up by next week, one for web server, another one for application server and the last one for proxy server. Previously all of them were running Windows Server 2k/2k3 and my job is to eliminate those Wins from the boxes.

I will be trying Ubuntu 9.04 on those boxes by next week. I want to test Fedora 11 on those boxes but the launching date  of Fedora 11 Leonidas has been extended from 2nd to 9th June 2009.
