Windows 2008 R2 on DL380 G4

I am wondering if anyone has knowledge of any known issues regarding windows 2008 R2 on a DL380 G4?
While officially "not supported", I see that many seem to have installed W2K8R2 successfully on a DL380 G4.
Any tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

thanks!

Russell

If you can get generic drivers from the OS DVD, it will work. Don't call HP for support on a Carepaq with a non-supported OS. They will tell you its not supported. I would not do it because you have issues, you won't get help resolving them.
