Installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 3 is known to have an issue with USB peripherals on IBM® BladeCenter® HS20-8832 systems.

To avoid this issue, you must perform either of two actions:

*

Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 3 for AMD64 and Intel® EM64T platforms
*

If you are installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 3 for the
x86 architecture, you must first move the USB IRQ from line #7 to
another available IRQ line. This will prevent stray interrupts from
disrupting the USB device and the installation of the OS. Consult
your hardware vendor for more information about changing IRQ lines
in your system.
