I can't verify that we installed SuSE, but we have installed Red Hat on the Proliant 5000R. We are running a Proliant 5000R for the blu.org server http://www.blu.org. On 23 May 2002 at 13:55, dallam wrote:
Hi Everyone, I got a proliant 5000R server a short time ago, within the past week I decided to have a go installing 7.3 on it. The install progressed normally until partitioning and yast told me I didn't have a hard drive. I searched the compaq reference site and found a reference to this /w SuSE 6.4 along with a statement that compaq didn't support 6.4. I also found an article on the same site stating that in order to install linux on a proliant server you needed to use the smartstart cd and configure the server for linux. This information was a bit dated as it referenced 6.4 and nothing newer than 7.2 pro. My question is does anyone have any experience installing SuSE on one of these machines? If so, is the reference to having to use smartstart cd still current for 7.3? BTW, I have really not gotten a definitive yes or no from compaq server support so I thought I would ask here.
