Debian on PE R410

[Hostmaster]

Hi Laurent,

Dell do a "Systems Management" ISO:

 

http://support.euro.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=gen&rel
easeid=R226574&SystemID=PWE_R410&servicetag=&os=WNET&osl=en&deviceid=17861&devli
b=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=2&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=2&libid=36&fileid=324755

 

This provides functionality to upgrade firmware. Bit of a hefty download
though...

Best Regards, 

Richard

Thank's for the Fast answer !

I read something about that on the list archive. (
http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2009-June/039532.html )
But I don't know how to update firmware (and which firmware) without OS.

Laurent,
 
Have you tried upgrading the firmware on the server? The early R610 and
R710s shipped with a firmware version which didn't work with some kernel
versions including that which is used by Lenny. I should think that the
R410 is similarly troubled.
