Red Hat ES4 on DL380 G4 with SAS Disks

[maurizio di salvo]

j have call hp support that say me:

some usb diskette read file but no load driver, thre isn't compatibility list. thy are sure if i use hp usb floppy code DC141B , i can read en load driver for p400.

i try because the cost is not expansive.

the problem is the same after i use diskette external dc141b, but i verify that problem is RHEL ES VERSION 4, because i have try load wmware esx server and it see array p400 and i have try CENTOS4 and it see array p400. Then i think if i use RHEL ES VERSION 4 UPDATE X ( I DON'T KNOW THE VERSION OF UPDATE )this is a solution at my problem.

who can confirm that i say???

thank you very mutch

I have same the problem when install RHEL4 to DL385 G2 Server(I don't know the update Version). Couldn't see any harddisk. Any one has solution please share with us.
Many thanks,

the solution at this problem is this:

you have to download, after register a subscrition in redhat web site, RHEL ES VERSION 4 UPDATE 5. you have to download 5 iso image and then copy this file on cd-r. i have install os without load driver of smart array p400 from usb drive o floppy.

@ Salvo,
Thanks you very much, i will try to download the ISO, and hopefully it will see the SA-P400 on DL385G2.

Have a nice weekend!

Would this problem exist on rx6600 Integrity server with SAS drives for RH 3.0 or 4.0? I am about to setup a rx6600 with RH 3.0 and I was wondering if I might run into this trouble or not.

Thanks,
Jorge

i think you have to use RHEL 4 AS WITH LAST UPDATE 4 or RHEL 5 ( they support smart array controller p400-p600 and i think p800) , BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN LINUX NOT SUPPORTED THIS SERVER WITH RHEL 3. READ THIS LINK
