No ext3 available when installing RH 4 on HP Blade


When installing RH 4 onto a HP BL480c, I select Disk Druid to create partitions manually, the File system type required is ext3 -- this is not listed!
The enclosure is a C7000 and the firmware is up to date
Any ideas?

File system types

We are using custom partitions but they included the /, /boot etc.
The problem here is that we only get as far as Disk Druid and cannot add a new partition as we need to use ext3, this is not shown as an option for file system types.
The only options shown are:
Ext2
Physical Volume (LVM)
Swap
Vfat

It all works on a DL380 with sas drives - same array controller etc

If anything, it's a kernel issue... I mean the drive/controller just writes bytes when its told. The RH4 install CD/DVD has the same toolset it always had, so if you booted with a kernel without ext2 support that would be the only culprit I can think of.

Thumbs up No Ext3 available

the problem has been resolved - the version of Linux we have to use is 4.3 this does not support Quad processors - we are trying to move up to version 4.8
