RE: RHEL4 and HP Proliant server

What generation of DL380? Which RHEL4 update? We have DL380s here (G2, G3, G4) and we can build off the boot CD without any problems.

Also, you need to make sure that you've created a logical drive on the hardware raid. If there are no logical drives on the hardware raid then there are 'technically' no hard drives. If you want to use LVM, then you would have to create each hard drive as it's own logical drive, though I'm not sure why you want to do that.

As Jeremy mentioned, it's definitely a cpqarray or cciss driver that you're going to end up using, but that should be on the CDs already.

to put RHEL4 on a Proliant server, a DL380, I believe. It's *all* hardware RAID, and the std. RHEL4 CDs can't id the h/d. He's tried d/l a package from HP, but that unzips to a file.dd, which I'm thinking needs to be dd'd to something....

You'll most likely need either the cpqarray or cciss drivers. I have a pair of DL580's that are similar in hardware and that's the modules needed for RHEL4 to see the (hardware RAID) volumes.

The file.dd is probably a floppy disk image, which can be written to a floppy with "dd if=file.dd of=/dev/fd0". The drivers on that floppy can then be loaded during the installation process.
