On a HP DL380e Gen8 with Dynamics Smart Array and SAS RAID installed I try to install Centos, after load the RAID Driver from HP Support Site I can access the RAID and do the installation.
The installation works fine and my new Centos Boot on the HP Proliant Server, but when I take a look into the /var/log/messages there is a lot of (>100 per second) this lines in the log file:
Dec 9 14:03:27 server01 kernel: PAL Shim AllocRequest returning NULL
Dec 9 14:03:27 server01 kernel: PAL Shim AllocRequest returning NULL
Dec 9 14:03:27 server01 kernel: PAL Shim AllocRequest returning NULL
Dec 9 14:03:27 server01 kernel: PAL Shim AllocRequest returning NULL
Dec 9 14:03:27 server01 kernel: PAL Shim AllocRequest returning NULL
Dec 9 14:03:27 server01 kernel: PAL Shim AllocRequest returning NULL
What does this mean?
