Hi,

I've remotely upgraded the RAID driver on a server (via terminal services)
and now it won't boot. The server boots from the raid 5 array.

I was wondering what's the best way to recover this situation. As I''m not
physically close to the server I can't see how far into the boot cycle it
goes.

The server is a dell 2400 with perc 2si if that helps.

Thanks in advance for any help. I'm going to have to go and fix this
tomorrow!
