any PCI Card is in a PCI Slot Other than PCI 0
(6402552, 6404116, 6404134, 6404944, 6407997)
When installing RHEL3 U7 32-bit on Sun Fire X4100 or Sun Fire X4200 servers that
have a PCI card installed in any slot other than PCI 0, installation might hang. This
problem is not observed when installing RHEL3 U7 64-bit.
See
FIGURE 1
or
FIGURE 2
for the location of the PCI slots.
Workaround
Use RHEL3 U8 32-bit if you have a PCI card installed in any PCI slot other than
PCI 0. (This limitation was fixed in Update 8).
