Revision 1.40
Problem Larger than 137GIG Maxtor ATA hard-drives don’t give proper disk space
information in Windows 2000 and are not recognized during the installation
process.
Implication Windows 2000 installation won’t find this 137GIG hard-drive. The current
Promise drivers won’t allow for this hard-drive to be recognized.
Workaround None
Status Promise RAID driver build 1.14 (PDC20627) allows for this hard-drive to install
Windows 2000. Pending production release of this driver from Promise, * please
contact Promise* for availability.
9. Adaptec 2100S, 2110S, or 3410S, RAID cards cause LILO to
hang during POST with Red Hat 7.3.
Problem Red Hat Linux 7.3 will fail to boot when an Adaptec 2100S, 2110S, or 3410S,
RAID card is installed and running Adaptec BIOS 1.60.
Implication When running the Adaptec* card in “EBDA relocation” mode the system will not
boot with Adaptec BIOS 1.60. Running Adaptec* BIOS v1.62 in conjunction with
BIOS 1.17 will provide support for Adaptec* RAID cards mentioned above.
Once installed it is still necessary to disable “EBDA relocation” in the Adaptec*
RAID setup.
Workaround None
Status Pending production release of BIOS from Adaptec*, please contact Adaptec for
availability.
10. LDCM 6.3 build 211 incorrectly lowers processor fan speeds
from 6000 RPM to fewer than 2000 RPM.
Problem LDCM 6.3 build 211 incorrectly lowers fan speeds on the SE7500CW2 system
only.
Implication Installing and configuring LDCM 6.3 build 211 could possibly create thermal
overheating issues.
Workaround See Technical Adivsory 612-01 for more details and patch availibity.
Status Intel is investigating the possibility of fixing this bug.
