Installing Slackware on to New Poweredge 2850

I am installing Slackware 10.2 onto a Dell poweredge 2850. After it is installed I get kernel panic. I have tried updating the kernel and also a fresh install. Has anyone had any luck install slackware 10.2 on to this machine.

Thanks in advance,

-Matt

    Can you provide a bit more information regarding the hardware inside of your 2850?  i.e. RAID controller type, etc

    That will let us know what kernel module you will need to ensure you can at least see the hard drive to partition it.

    Yeah it turns out I am having no problems either. I wasn't sure if I would have problems. The only thing I was seeing was info about RedHat.

    Hi,

    we've running a PE2850 with Slackware 10.2 without problems.

    Perc-Controller with RAID-1, Kernel 2.4.31. What are your options?
