Hello.
We have received XW8600. I have to install Redhat 4 or 5. During the installation setup saying no harddrive or harddisk. Redhat dont know LSI sas1068 controller. I check driver inside of HP website. there is not driver for redhat. only for vista and xp.

I found driver in LSI webpage. But it is 3Mb. I can't copy with flopy.

How I can install?
Please help me.
