Hi all,
All previous attempts to install linux in the server, had failed - I was
told. It seemed they were never able to configure the RAID drives in the
server. They said Red Hat didn't support the configuration , and they
needed a "Smart Start" CD to do the job which they lacked. As usual, as
one crazy linux "Newbie" I decided to try installing a good linux distro
in the server.
I had the same problem before sometime(Jun'04). After a struggle for a month
i could fix the problem.
You can read it here:

First thing you have to do is check which versions of RH will work in your
system(there will be a compatibility matrix in HP for this). As SRS and
Benand said i am sure RHEL3 will work on this.
Since it was costly for me to buy RHEL i searched for an alternative and
ended up with Whitebox linux. Installation went like a breeze and from then
on(with about 5 HDDs + Software RAID0), the system is running fine(for the
past 7/8 months).
WBEL is built on RHEL and its a free(as in free beer) alternative, it is an
example of OSS.
You can downloade the new version of WBEL here:

or the other RHEL base version tao linux here:
