Configuration:
- Integrated Ata Raid Controller
- Two IDE Hard Disks RAID 1 (both master)
- IDE CD-ROM to IDE Controller as master.
Problem: RH9 boots from the CD but after loading the kernel appears the message:
"The Red Hat CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Red Hat Linux CD and press OK to retry."
I tried "boot: linux hde=cdrom", but it doesn't work.
The CD is good (I tested it in another computer).
Please help me!!!

Re: Install RH9 in Proliant ML330 G2
RHL 9 has some kernel bug, so installation from CD is a problem on many servers.
RHL 9 isn't sertificied for servers, I suggest to use RHEL 2.1.

Re: Install RH9 in Proliant ML330 G2
I agree with Vitaly about the issues using RH9. CDROM drivers are screwy, and not all of the drivers are supported.

SolutionHp has developed a fix for the broken installation process that affects at
least the following list of ProLiant servers:
320
330G2
350G3
360G3
370G3
380G3
530G3
570G2
580G2
760
The fix is in the form of a boot floppy that is used in conjunction
with the installation CD.
The readme and floppy images are available externally here:
ftp://ftp.compaq.com:21/pub/products/servers/supportsoftware/linux/RedHat/bootdisk.rhl9.readme
ftp://ftp.compaq.com:21/pub/products/servers/supportsoftware/linux/RedHat/bootdisk.rhl9dl.img
ftp://ftp.compaq.com:21/pub/products/servers/supportsoftware/linux/RedHat/bootdisk.rhl9us.img
Symptom:
The RH9 installation boots but prompts for the location of the installation files and cannot locate them on the CD media.
Cause:
This is a bug in the ide driver that affects CD-ROM access in the installation kernel only.
After the installation is complete, the
installed kernel does not contain the bug and functions correctly.
IMPORTANT NOTE: even if Hp has provided
the fix, RH 9 is not certified (by Hp) with ProLiants server: check at http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/hpLinuxcert.html
RedHat has been given the fix to insure that AS 3.0 (based on RH9) won't have
this issue.
Instructions:
- dd the image to a floppy:
dd bs=36b < bootdisk.img > /dev/fd0
- Boot the server and enter the ROM based setup (F9), select the
"Standard
Boot Order (IPL)" entry and select the floppy as the first boot device
- Insert both the boot floppy and the RedHat CD #1 and boot the system
HIH.
Bye,
Gianluca

Re: Install RH9 in Proliant ML330 G2
Yes I can intall from HD RH9, but I didn't find a driver for the megaraid IDE controller for RH9, but there is one for RH8 here:
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/17241.html
Maybe it works with RH9, but I don??t know how many problems I can find later.
Agree with you guys RH8 it's the right way.
Thank you again.
