Hello,

I'm trying to install RedHat9 on new HP Proliant DL380G3. I've got install CDs which i burned using downloaded iso images. I used this CDs installing RedHat9 on two PC - no problems, so I'm sure that CDs are OK. When I put 1st CD into Proliant, it boots OK. I'm prompted to choose the graphic or text installation - I choose standard (graphic) by pressing just ENTER. It loads modules .... and then I'm in text (not graphic) installation mode prompted to select language. I can continue thru 3 screens and then I get info, that installer can't recognize cd format ??? This is also probably the cause why installer can't go into graphic mode.

Has anybody met similar problem.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you tried the text install yet? That would be my next attempt.

Yes, I tried text mode. As I wrote, when I chose graphic installation mode, the installer went into text mode without any warning. So I tried to go thru using text mode, but after selecting language and keyboard I got warning that installer couldn't recognize the cd format and was asked to insert proper cd. I also tried to use various options like "linux text", linux resolution ..." etc - always the same problem with cd format.

HPaq recommends NOT using RH9.0 on DL380's. I've got the same problem and found this...
this.

Thank you. There is a lot of information about this problem. My solution was to install RH8.

Kind regards,
