DL380G3 Debian live CD

[Prokopets]

Deepak, you don't have to buy RedHat, you can use it for free - without support and updates. If you need updates, you can use CentOS, which is free clone of RedHat.

okey..
I will check on that..
I have found out that CD burner software could be a issue.
I have working debian Live CD. what I did that copied it on blank Cd and try to run on server...

but it is not recognised by server...

it means that my software is not supporting all format of Livecd and something is missing...
may be same thing is happening with other distro..

could you suggest me some software for burning bootable linux cd..

please see the attach file from HP about the lenny release..

Deepak, as for cd-writing software, i've always used Nero Burning Rom, and almost never had a problems. Just don't try to burn on maximum speed. But something tells me that the problem may be in your cd\dvd-writer...
As for document that you have attached: it't created in 2009 and your DL380 G3 was retired at the end of January, 2005. I mean that now Debian is supported by HP - in new server models, but i really doubt that it's supported on old ones.
Anyway, if you suspect that your cd-writing software may cause your problem, try to use another soft and another writing device - it may save your time.

Hello,
Finally I compromised with Centos..
it is working now..
I did update the 5i controller driver then it was solved..

With Ubuntu and Debian I had a sda problem, while with Centos that was solved..

Thanks for help,
Deepak

Debian is having a problem with SCSI controller. It doesnt support the 5i controller of Proliant DL380G3.
