I have the same problem with
rx3600 and the HP provided RHEL4 U4 media
provided by HP. Are you sure that the problem
can be solved by downloading the media from
redhat and using those?

The information I got, which hasn't really been confirmed yet, is that the HP distribution depends on having run the Smart Setup CD first, while the Red Hat distribution doesn't depend on Smart Setup at all. Apparently Smart Setup partitions the drive(s) and sets up some diagnostic/recovery infrastructure for the standard HP installation. Smart Setup is at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3346452&prodNameId=3346456&swEnvOID=2027&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ux-22935-7

I got it working. It is console setting problem. You can get VGA working by selecting VGA as Primary console in console type during system startup in EFI menu. I can't reboot the server now so can't get u the exact steps.

finaly .. i can install rhas 5 on my rx2620

my step is :
use the efi shell and make vga to primary console => conconfig [id vga] primary
and then i install linux with efi command promp => elilo linux text console=tty0
