Installing Red Hat Linux 8 on ML350 G5
I know HP says that Red Hat Linux 8 is not compatible with the ML350 G5 server but I still need to install this version.
Is there a way to do this?
Are there any compatible drivers that I can use for this version?
Thanks a lot.

Re: Installing Red Hat Linux 8 on ML350 G5
The issue is going to be drivers. You're talking about a 6 year old release. I am not saying it's impossible to make it work, but it will take major acts of heroism to get it working. You'll have to re-compile all the required drivers, and it's very likely that they will be written against specific libraries that ALSO will not be present and you will have to attempt to make functional.
If you're not a hardened hacker you're like SOL. And the fact that you've posed the question answers this point...
What could possibly be in RH8 that can't get in a more current (and supported) release???? Perhaps if you detail your need we can help further.

"....the Linux kernel implementation of the iBCS standard has seen no new deveopment since 1998, and is incompatible with 2.4 and 2.6 kernels."
Your best bet (dare I say only bet) is likely a Virtual Machine.

Glad you found what you need. Do let us know if you get it running on a supported OS as it looks rather kernel limited.....
