Dell PowerEdge 2950 not booting
I have an old Dell PowerEdge 2950 running Ubuntu as a test server. After running OS updates yesterday, I rebooted the server, but it never comes back up, it stops after the PERC6i reports that 1 Virtual drive was found, and is handled by the BIOS. I'm not sure what could be happening. I tried removing the drives, clearing the config on the RAID card, then reinstalling the drives and importing the RAID array, but that didn't help. I'm wondering, is the iDRAC the next thing that should come up? Could the iDRAC be dead and keeping it from booting? If so, how do I remove it?

Ewessel,
Would you share any errors you are seeing, as well as any screenshots within the controller BIOS, such as Virtual and Physical disk pages?
Also, would you clarify what you meant by "reinstalling the drives and importing the RAID array", specifically what was the process?
Let me know and we can go from there.
