Hi out there,
If there is anybody out there using SLES8 on HP ProLiant DL740/760:
BEWARE!
SuSE has patched UNICON into the kernel which will cause these servers
to completely hang when booted with vga=normal and lots of text rushing
over the console. The system will run fine in fb-mode, but not in plain
text.
I cannot see, where this UNICON-patch comes from, it seems that is has
been developed by some turbolinux-coders.
I hope this information will help someone to not run into deep trouble.
