install in a Dell PowerEdge 2900
Hi there, I have an Dell PowerEdge 2900 Server. But it do not boot arch. I read that need some certified or something like that. Iso image is good, it boot from other computers without problem. Any idea?

Are you sure your CD is valid? (Is it a real CD or USB key?). Are booting in BIOS or in UEFI mode? If it is UEFI, disable secure boot in the firmware. How have you created your CD? If you simply copy all the files, I think it will boot in UEFI mode, because the firmware looks for a file; but not in BIOS mode, where you have to burn the raw image. If you have still some problems, be sure to describe the problem and what you have done in details.

yes, image is valid, I just disable RAID and emulate USB as hardisk; then it boot. Now there is a new problem, it do not detect any hard-drive onboard

You might need Dells PERC drivers. But you should be able to use RAID anyhow by reenabling it.

There's a megaraid-cli in the AUR. You also might look through the kernel to see if there is something for RAID controllers there.
