This is on a PE 2900 running openSUSE 11.0 . I downloaded f_drac5v140_A00.exe , unzipped it to get 'firmimg.d5', ran 'racadm fwupdate -p -u -d .' I got the message 'Firmware update in progress. Please wait...' and nothing else for 15 minutes. How long should the update take? Philip J. Tait http://subarutelescope.org
