Help configuring proliant DL360G4 with 2.6.25 Kernel...


Hi all, I am doing a server build on my Proliant DL360 G4 and need assistance with the kernel config stage.

Code:
livecd proc # lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation E7520 Memory Controller Hub (rev 0c)
00:02.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation E7525/E7520/E7320 PCI Express Port A (rev 0c)
00:04.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation E7525/E7520 PCI Express Port B (rev 0c)
00:06.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation E7520 PCI Express Port C (rev 0c)
00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6300ESB 64-bit PCI-X Bridge (rev 02)
00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6300ESB USB Universal Host Controller (rev 02)
00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6300ESB USB Universal Host Controller (rev 02)
00:1d.4 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 6300ESB Watchdog Timer (rev 02)
00:1d.5 PIC: Intel Corporation 6300ESB I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (rev 02)
00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6300ESB USB2 Enhanced Host Controller (rev 02)
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 0a)
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 6300ESB LPC Interface Controller (rev 02)
00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 6300ESB PATA Storage Controller (rev 02)
01:03.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27)
01:04.0 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Integrated Lights Out Controller (rev 01)
01:04.2 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Integrated Lights Out  Processor (rev 01)
02:01.0 RAID bus controller: Compaq Computer Corporation Smart Array 64xx (rev 01)
02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
02:02.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
06:00.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6700PXH PCI Express-to-PCI Bridge A (rev 09)
06:00.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6700PXH PCI Express-to-PCI Bridge B (rev 09)
I have determined that I need the Compaq Smart Array in Block Devices
But I am not sure what other device drivers I need to compile in to ensure that I get a solid base system...

It is not clear to me in the pata/sata sections what the 6300ESB PATA needs, or the Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5704s for gigabit ethernet, host bridges etc.

Could someone please help me walk through the basics so I get a solid foundation? I am googling the lspci output bit by bit but not getting too far.

All of my installs so far have been desktops and lappies so I am well out of my depth.

TIA

Greetingz!

I realize this is a *really* late reply (over six months). But there's a really solid trick I use when doing kernel configurations on hardware I'm not familiar with;

Grab the latest (6.4.4) Knoppix CD (or the DVD if you can, it's really cool) and do an "lsmod" to see what modules it loads. Also, do a "gzcat /proc/config.gz" to nab their kernel configuration for reference.

That usually takes a lot of leg work out of custom kernel building for me

P.S: Love your username, very creative!
