Re: issue installing red hat 4.4

If you mean Proliant ML350 G6 (= Generation 6), then RHEL 4.4 is too old for it. When RHEL 4.4 was released, the ML350 G6 did not exist yet.

The error message suggests the installer cannot properly identify the necessary hardware (i.e. either the network adapter or the SmartArray disk controller). This is common when your Linux installation media is older than your hardware.

The minimum HP-supported version is RHEL 4.7 or 4.8, depending on your CPU choice.
