RHEL3 on DL320 G5p : Problem with SATA driver

[Suresh seethapathi]

Hi,
I'm trying to load RHEL3 on a DL320 G5p machine. I'm getting "no hard disk found" message and could not install RHEL3.

It has ICH9R SATA controller (Inter(R) 82801GR).

Can any one suggest where I can get the driver (Binary or source or both) for the SATA controller.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Suresh krishna Seethapathi

Hello Suresh,
RHEL3 is not supported on this G5 server da.

Y not RHEL 4 atleast ?

You may try the driver here :

Thanks James.

My application only runs on RHEL3 - so I have live with.

The other option - I may have to change the server model which supports RHEL3.

Do you know any other way to load the RHEl3 on Dl320 G5p. I'm Ok to recompile kernel or modules etc.
