# warning messages to the serial port kern.warn; /dev/ttyS0 To activate the changes you made in the syslog daemon, enter the command: /etc/init.d/syslog restart Refer to the syslog daemon man page for more information about the configuration. 4.3.8 RXE-100 Expansion Enclosure The RXE-100 Expansion Enclosure is now fully supported under Linux. The x450 will recognize any device attached to any of the 12 RXE-100 slots. When installing SuSE SLES 8, it is recommended that you disconnect the RXE-100 before the operating system installation, and then reconnect it again once the system is installed. The installation program uses a limited version of the kernel that may not recognize your devices on the RXE enclosure or may crash the installation. Active PCI support (Hot Plug) is not supported on Linux. Tip: To easily view all your recognized PCI devices, you can use the YaST tool. To invoke YaST, simply enter yast at the command prompt, then go to the Hardware and PCI information. As you can see in Figure 4-17 on page 114, all the PCI slots are recognized, including the 12 external PCI slots. Chapter 4. Installation 113

RXE-100 Expansion Enclosure
The RXE-100 Expansion Enclosure is now fully supported under Linux. The x450
will recognize any device attached to any of the 12 RXE-100 slots.
When installing SuSE SLES 8, it is recommended that you disconnect the
RXE-100 before the operating system installation, and then reconnect it again
once the system is installed. The installation program uses a limited version of
the kernel that may not recognize your devices on the RXE enclosure or may
crash the installation.
Active PCI support (Hot Plug) is not supported on Linux.
As you can see in Figure 4-17 on page 114, all the PCI slots are recognized,
including the 12 external PCI slots.
Tip:
To easily view all your recognized PCI devices, you can use the YaST
tool. To invoke YaST, simply enter
yast
at the command prompt, then go to the
Hardware and PCI information.
