RedHat linux 5 is a very old version. You should choose a recent version.
Perhaps you mean RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.
This version should't have a problem with DL 360 G5.

I guess, you mean RHEL 5.
I suggest you to use the latest update level for your installation - RHEL 5.1 for now.

The problem may be the lack of the bnx2 driver. I encountered a similar problem with base RHEL5 installation on a DL380G5. It appears that RHEL5.1 has the driver builtin.
