[Oliver Parkhouse_2]

Firstly can you install RH9 on a DL380 G3??

Reason for asking...i am trying the server boots picks up the cd asks a few questions on coutry, keyboard.. then asks were do i iwant to install from. I select CD and it tells me it cant find RH on the cd. I have tried 2 different copies with no luck.

can you try network installation?
Share the files via NFS on another machine and try to install via nfs...

Your installation has been done. Assuming the media you have is good, you may have an issue with the cd-rom drive. You might want to get the server utility cd out and test it.

An NFS or ftp based install might prove the server out.

On a regular computer with dos you can create a network boot disk for the install.

Oliver,

You need a special boot disk, because the installation kernel has a bug preventing it from accessing the CD player.
