DRAC configuration

[Kristoffer Knigga]

I have a PE6300 with a DRAC 2 in it, and it is running FC4.  I know this
is unsupported, as FC runs a 2.6 kernel and there are no drivers for the
DRAC 2 and kernel 2.6.  However, it seems to me that at least some of
the DRAC's capabilities can not rely on the host operating system, as
this would render the card pointless, right?  So my question is this:
Is there any way to create some sort of boot disk or livecd that is
running a pre-2.6 distro of some sort and that also has the management
utilities for the DRAC in order to configure the card and get it to a
somewhat working state?

 

Thanks a lot.
