If you want to use a pci video card, hook up a usb keyboard and do the following:
1. Right after turning on power, press delete several times(to get into the bios)
2. wait a minute or two(for it to get into the bios)
3. press the down arrow once
4. enter
5. down arrow 5 times
6. right arrow once
7. F10
8. enterNow it should reboot and use the pci video card. FYI - my backup battery was dead so when i turned the main power off I lost my bios changes.

Hey jmcentire, thanks for all the tips! I will definitely try to get some time to try the LCDproc later this week. Would be really nice to have that working.

If you want ACPI enabled and console redirected to the console port you have to disable the serial port for the lcd, plug in a usb keyboard and do the following:
1. Right after turning on power, press delete several times(to get into the bios)
2. wait a minute or two(for it to get into the bios)
3. press the down arrow 6 times, to get to the peripherals menu
4. enter
5. down arrow 2 times, to get to Serial Port 1
6. enter
7. up arrow 2 times, to select Disabled
8. enter
9. F10, to bring up exit menu
10. enter, to save and exitOnly downside is you won't be able to use the LCD on the front.

FYI - if your bios changes are not sticking, change the bios backup battery. I now have 15 of these 5420s and so far 4 have needed new batteries.

So are these pretty reliable? No issues with lockups when connecting via the web interface (ala Watchguard)?
I'm thinking about picking some up for use in remote offices that have 10 users or so connected to our main office via wireless bridges… -
Yea, great reliability for me. I have a second just in case but this one has been running with no problems for probably close to a year now. About 20 remote sites connected via IPSec and 4 via OpenVPN so it gets plenty of use.
-
So far so good, I have 8 in production use and a couple test boxes. All have been running with no problems.
-
Yup still running here!
I have 3 of them, all with 2gb of RAM.(2) are running Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager ( ;D) on Win Server 2008.
(1) is a VM host for development.Bradford Giosa

I feel silly posting this, but I having a tough time with the serial port connection. Do I have to do anything special to get a serial connection going? I have tried Hyperterm and Putty with a DB9 cable with no success.
-
Fantastic, worked like a charm! For any others curious, it is pretty much exactly as focalguy described. I used HyperTerminal with 9600 8-N-1. Make sure you disable ACPI and have your hard drive plugged in to Primary!! I had it plugged in to Secondary and it failed.
The settings listed there should work. You need to follow the instructions though and do an embedded install so that output goes to the serial port and not VGA.

hi guys!!
I'm trying to put him on 2.0 Beta 5 and I think I have something wrong because it does not start :-), I can put your device.hints?
%cat /boot/device.hints
many thanks
