Lockup

[Ayman Altounji]

Ther is a Rompaq available I don't know if it will solve your problem
it is SP 12986
Also make sure you use Smart Start 4.90A or better

Had the same problem. DL380 and a 5300 w/64mb. Server came with 128mb dimm and added a 2nd 512mb dimm for total of 640mb. Apparently it's the combination of 128mb and 512mb where it equals 640mb total that causes the ACU on Smartstart 4.90 to lock up during drive detect. With the 128mb dimm alone or 128mb dimm plus 2 512mb dimm's, the problem goes away.

We fixed this only by sending back the entire server and having Compaq send us a new one.

Yes, you can remove all but 128MB of RAM, run the AC, install the RAM again. Once the OS is built, the AC will run fine on 640MB.
