Config Notes
Downloading and installing the latest graphics drivers from nVidia was necessary to pass the video tests: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html. A forcedeth.ko LAN driver update available from Novell was part of the tested configuration. Download is available from the following URL: http://forgeftp.novell.com/driver-process/pub/update/HP/sle9/common/i386/update/SUSE-SLES/9/rpm/i586/hp-forcedeth-0.60_2.6.5_7.244-2.i586.rpm. ACPI Bus Segmentation and HPET had to be Disabled under Advanced > Chipset/Memory in the ROM-based Setup (BIOS) for the LSI SAS1068E 8-port Controller to function.
