UNSOLVED
Solution install Windows on server with Drac5 (PE2900III)
Hi guys,
after wasting pretty much 2 days with at least 20 unsuccesfull install of win 2003 server (stuck at the blue screen setup, few second after first boot) i called Dell support and they have a solution :
unplug the 2 cables from the Drac5 card
install windows
replug the cable and windows will recognize the Drac5 !!
the least we can say is that they did not even tested their own card with windows :-( ( linux installed without difficulties)
what a waste of time.

- First you say you don't want to install any Microsoft OS, but then you say to disconnect the DRAC and then you can install Windows.
You don't mention what your problem is when trying to install your non-Microsoft OS and you also don't mention which non-Microsoft OS you're trying to install.
Can you clarify what you were trying to install and what problem you were running into. There are some knowledgeable people checking these boards and they may be able to tell you how they fixed the issue you ran into.
