having trouble to install SLES 9 SP3 (Novell OES SP2) on HP ProLiant DL 320 G5p


I Can't install SLES 9 SP3 (Novell OES SP2) on HP ProLiant DL 320 G5p

SATA 82801GR controller
LSI Logic SAS1068 Fusion-MPT PCI-X
HP 8 Internal Port SAS HBA with RAID
SATA CD-Rom TEAC DV-W28S-RS
INTEL e1000 2 port NIC

It seems no CD-Rom was found by SLES as well as no NIC was found. So I can't start install nor using CD or LAN.

I started booting from OES SP2 CD 1. The boot loader started normally, but when I chose Installation it says
Could Not Find the SLES 9 Installation CD. Activating Manual Installation.

Here in the manual installation screen I check
System Information - Hard Disks and CD-Roms
It says
No Hard Disks or CD-Rom drives have been detected so far

Then
1. I erased the BIOS/HD through RBSU
2. downlaod Driver Diskette for HP U320 SCSI Adapter, SAS HBA with RAID, SCxxXe and SCxxGe series HBA (x86 and AMD32) for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (x86)
3. startfed installation again.

Now I can see in the manual installation screen - System Information - Hard Disks and CD-Roms MY RAID 1 ARRAY 278GB, but still NO CD-ROM, NO NICS at ALL.

Also I have recently updated all firmware, tried changing CD/DVD-Rom adding ordinary SATA HDD, and the result is the same - no CD, no HDD is seen. So I suppose the linux kernel doesn't support my motherboard SATA channels?

Additionally, I tried to install SLES 10 SP3 (OES2) and it was success, all the hardware were detected including CD and NICs

How can I add driver prior to installation or install using my array HDD?

Please Help.

Are you using iLo to attach an install iso or are you physically inserting the cd ?

<edit> another idea... you could install the system in an older box then move the disks back </edit>
