[ILUG] RH7.0 or RH 7.1 and Dell Poweredge 1300's

[Dave Airlie]

What kernel you running 2.2 or 2.4.. if 2.4 get an ac > 2.4.6ac1...

in the patch I can see

{ set_bios_reboot, "PowerEdge 1300/500", {      /* Handle problems with
rebooting on Dell 1300's */
+                       MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Dell Computer
Corporation"),
+                       MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "PowerEdge 1300/500"),
+                       NO_MATCH, NO_MATCH
+                       } },
+       { set_bios_reboot, "PowerEdge 1300/550", {      /* Handle problems
with rebooting on Dell 1300's */
+                       MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Dell Computer
Corporation"),
+                       MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "PowerEdge 1300/550"),
+                       NO_MATCH, N

doesn't look good .. it might have made it's way into 2.2.20 when it comes
out ..

Dave.
