Hi,

yesterday I tried to update six PE2650 with Perc4DC firmware 351X to 352B.
Four of them runinng EL3.8, two of them EL4.4.

In short:
The EL3 servers were updating fine, the EL4 servers both kernel paniced.
One El4 server crashed when collecting inventory, the other one while 
writing the firmware.

Thankfully I was able to recover both servers with the dos disk.
(driving sunday to the datacenter... :( )
Dell support promised to investigate further but fyi I believe there is 
something wrong with exactly this configuration.
