Testing and Known Issues

Testing

Hardware	Results
DL380-G3	No issues
DL385-G1	Hangs on shutdown during the first reboot during an installation. Requires a hardware power off and power on.
DL385-G2	During install, sometimes locks up while scanning hardware disk drivers. During install, on after reboot, sometimes NICs fail to work. In both cases you will need to reboot the system.

Known Issues

Item	Date	Who	Details	Workaround/Solution
patches update	2007Mar20	Travis	Applying system patches will leave the system unbootable.	Currently you must update lilo by hand to remove HP items
autofs-ldap home	2007Mar21	Travis	autofs's lookup_ldap.so does not support cn=*	Since the home dir map is static, leaving it in /etc/auto.home will work for now.
