Install problem on PE 2450
I'm trying to rebuild a PE 2450 that's been sitting unused for about a year. I installed the latest BIOS and ESM.
Whenever I try to install an O/S, the system hangs after the first reboot.
I've tried W2003 Server (black screen after first reboot), W2K Server (freezes at splash screen), Red Hat 8.0 (black screen), even NT 4.0 (black screen).
There isn't the optional PERC on the system. This problem happens with either the onboard AIC-7899 SCSI, or the onboard disabled and using the Adaptec 2940 SCSI card that came with the system.
I've tried new hard drives also, as well as making the boot partition smaller than 12 GB. I've searched the forum pretty well before posting.
Any ideas or next troubleshooting steps would be appreciated.
