Redhat Enterprise WS Version 3 on DL380 G4 problem.

[Soon Chai Hsiung]

Hi,

I am not able to install Redhat WS Version 3 on DL380 G4 because it is not detecting the 2 SCSI HDD. How do i go about now?

Is there any patches like update 3 need to be installed? Where to get these patches and how to pre-install it after I have configured RAID at BIOS.

Please advise. Thanks.

You should download ISO images of installation CDs for RHEL 3.0 WS update 4 from RHN site [rhn.redhat.com].

BTW, before Linux installation you should configure "logical disk[s]" using RAID's BIOS or RAID utility from SmartCD.

I look for it at Channel tab. But, I can't the packages/errata regarding to the update 4.

Please advise. I really need help to install my new server.

under RHN you should go to channels/Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 3 for x86) /downloads

Under this page you'll see all RHEL 3.0 WS CDs [update 4,3,...]

Channels (tab at the top)
Then click on "Easy ISO's" (link on the left side)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 4 for x86) Beta

Yes, its still Beta. If you don't really, really need RedHat try a different distro.

Ted, we're speaking not about RHEL 4.0, but about RHEL3.0 update 4...

Hi,

I have tried to download ISO images from Fedora Project site. The ISO images are:
- FC3-x86_64-disc1.iso
- FC3-x86_64-disc2.iso
- FC3-x86_64-disc3.iso
- FC3-x86_64-disc4.iso

Then, I burned them into CD-R, respectively by using nero6 application.

I have tried to boot up from the 1st CD. But, it seems like couldn't be detected by the server.

Is there anything wrong from the steps?

Please advise.

1) you should check MD5 checksum [md5sum command] of *iso files

2) you should burn these files as images, not as files.

I have successfully installed the Linux at HP G4 server by downloading the update 4 from RHN.
