    Notes and Observations:

    1. Take the following BIOS setting: Config->SATA->Mode=Compatibility when you have trouble to install via DVD or CD. Also latest BIOS update from Lenovo may fix this issue.
    2. See the following notes for installing all of the devices under SLED 10 SP2
    http://www.linux-tested.com/notes/CFG_NOTE_SLED10_8267_5000_power.html
    3. Redhat 5.3 requires installation of Intel® 82567 driver downloaded from Intel® web site.
    4. Redhat 5.3 requires installation of WiFi adapter microcode from RedHat supplemental CD. Install the /supplementary/iwl5000-firmware-5.4.A.11-2.noarch.rpm
