Hi All, i am trying to install RedHat Es 5 on a HP ProLiant ML110 G5, when i try to install the i can only go as far as the language stage and thats it, it asks me for drivers

I have 2 * SATA hard drives(160Gb)which seem to be the cause, i have the driver CD...but can't seem to load the drivers

Can someone help mi

Thanks
Naba

You may be able to solve that one by going into BIOS and switching your hard drives from AHCI to IDE or the other way round (more likely the former).

I went to the BIOS and switched to REMOVABLE IDE which was the closest, still the same result, pls help

When the cd is booting, look for the F key that will allow you to enter additional boot options and type
linux all-generic-ide irqpoll
This has been known to overcome certain cd/dvd controller issues.

That's interesting because according to HP that Server is certified with RHEL 5. your install should be pretty smooth.

When you say RHEL 5 do you mean 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 ?



That is the same Storage controller that is in my HP. Debian 4.0 (Etch) installed without a hitch detecting the storage controller, NIC's etc.. Your server is also listed as bering compatible with Debian Etch, if you want to give it a shot just to check out the hardware.
