Nevermind, I saw on another post where you did mention you were using this boot parameter.
Just for my curiosity I would love to see your dmesg output from bootup and an lspci -vv.
BTW, I know that turning off async IO made the system run very slowly, but did that system ever crash? Just curious.

As a followup to this certification, the notes on the page say that "acpi =oldboot" is required for the 6650 with SLES 8 (including SP2a and SP3). Andrew , are you guys using this boot option? Have you tried it?

It may be true that Dell does not certify SuSE, but it's also true that SuSE does certify on Dell hardware and the 6650 is specifically listed on the SuSE website as certified with SLES 7 and SLES 8. Take a look at:
I would think that SuSE would be the proper channel for the best support (or perhaps SuSE via Oracle). If SuSE is not very responsive to this issue it would suprise me.
