Instalé Linux (Gentoo) en un server IBM x206m. Lo interesante es que esta caja usa discos SATA / SAS (Serial Attached SCSI), y de lo cual existe soporte solo para versiones recientes del Kernel.

El proceso a grandes rasgos:

I had to install Linux (Gentoo) on an IBM x206m server. Remarkable in this box is the use of SATA / SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drives. Only very recent kernels support this kind of storage, and even so they need a firmware blob to be appropiately loaded for the controller to work at all.

Some references can be found on the Internet (although not many). Here is a quick reference of the steps involved to make this box work.
