Attempting to install SLES-10 SP1 on a brand new Dell PowerEdge 2950
6x1TB Drives
Perc 5i controller

Set up one single RAID 10 partition with a size of 2.8TB

When installing OS, I can only utilize first 2TB of storage, If I try to
assing anything past 2TB, the partitioner complains about:

"The value of the end cylinder 364601 was not valid."
"The used disk label msdos does not support partitions above the size of
2.0TB"
"Therefore the cylinder value must be below 267365"

I have not labeled anything as of yet.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ron
