Windows Server 2008 SP2 Installation on iSCSI Offload Fails
Dell Ref: DF184787
Once you install Windows Server 2008 SP2, the system may fail to boot,
or restart repeatedly. This issue occurs because you have set your system to
boot from an iSCSI device that uses network adapters, which do not support
the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table drivers.
To workaround this issue, install the hotfix available in the Microsoft
knowledge base article 952942 on the Microsoft Help and Support website at
support.microsoft.com, in an offline image of Windows Server 2008 before
you perform a clean install.
BlueScreen During Setup With Two PERC Controllers
Dell Ref: DF168481
The BlueScreen error may occur if you are using the edge-to-edge media
or Dell recovery media to install Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 on
Dell PowerEdge servers containing PERC5 or PERC6 family of
RAID adapters.
The BlueScreen may appear during installation on the 9th, 10th, or 11th
generation Dell PowerEdge servers.
To resolve this issue, download and install the latest version of the
PERC driver from support.dell.com.
NOTE: The minimum required PERC driver version is 2.23.
