We are still working on supporting Dell PE 860. It's not on the
supported hardware list yet. Please refer to

Subject: Re: Installing v4.1.1 iso image on Dell 1850 fails after
install with kernel panic

Had a similar problem with Dell PE 860 and 4.0.4. Bios was not set
correctly.

Disable integrated Broadcom NICS
Serial Port Off
Console Redirection Off
After Reboot Disabled

my fault it was in the install notes, except the Broadcom NICS. I was
able to use the integrated Broadcom NICS after the install, but had
manually configure eth2. I set it through the management interface, but
after a reboot the settings were lost. I've had that problem before with
an older release and different hardware.

I was receiving "Kernel Panic - not syncing, Attempted to kill init!"

Also ICH7 not 100% compatible, but it's working...

Weird as it seems install worked fine with integrated NICS enabled, but
would not boot. I tried this several times just to make sure I was
seeing what I was seeing... The PE 860 is not listed as being supported,
so I'll take what I can get...

I'm not Linux savy, which is 95 percent of my problem...

Subject: Installing v4.1.1 iso image on Dell 1850 fails after install
with kernel panic

I have just tried to reinstall CCA v4.1.1 on a Dell 1850 server that had
= a disk crash using the ISO image downloaded from the Cisco web site.
The install goes OK until the system is rebooted, at which point it
fails wit= h a kernel panic.

I can install using the ISO for v 4.0.3 and upgrade up to v4.1.1.  
NOTE:  The ISO for v4.0.4 causes the same error as the ISO for v4.1.1.

Has anyone else had this problem or know a solution?  If not, I will
star= t up a TAC case.
