Dear all,
I installed RHEL 4 in a HP DL 380 G5 srver, kernel version number of rhel is 2.6.9-5 elsmp, after the installation,network drvier not installed, i downolad some drvier software from their site, but still it is not installed,
The installation error message was , when iam trying to update the application "SOURCE RPM , applicationame is a source rpm which cannot be installed with system config-packages"

please give me a solution how i can solve these problem

your earliest reply is highly appricable on it

First off, you need to try installing with a newer update of RHEL4 than what you've got. The 2.6.9-5 kernel that you're trying to install with is the GA version, and that is over TWO years old!! It most likely doesn't even contain the necessary NIC driver version that supports the adapter.

In fact, Red Hat doesn't support any version of RHEL4 on the DL380 G5 below Update 3:

The current update version of RHEL4 is update 5, so, I suggest installing with that version. If you have a paid support subscription with Red Hat, you can download the Update 5 isos from rhn.redhat.com, burn them to discs, and install the OS. You'd certainly save yourself a lot of trouble...

Hope that helps.

Also, the method that you're using to install the driver src package doesn't make much sense...if you're trying to install it with system-config-packages, then that won't work.
