rx8620 WINDOWS 2003

[Luk Vandenbussche]

Hello,

I am trying to install W2003Datacenter on a hardware partition off an rx8620.
I have a graphical card A6869A installed in my server. The graphical card doesn't send any signal to my screen when the partition boots.
I'am trying to install W2K3 to the internal disks A9881A.

Any ideas

Luk,

System does not yet support Windows and as such, no firmware support for graphics/USB adapter. Current expected SR for Windows on rx7620/rx8620 is April 2004. Possible workaround (though this does not change supportability of system running Windows OS) is to install OS via management port.

Hope this helps,

Nico

Nico,

The installation crashes when we try to install it via the Management console?

I had the exact problem whith an rx7620 the fix was to change acpic mode to windows with the efi command "acpiconfig windows".
