Well, my 2 cents : The script above uses those HP drivers : hpasm-7.0.0-21.rhel21.i386.rpm cmastor-7.0.0-16.linux.i386.rpm Obviously, the hpasm is for RHEL 2.1. On Compaq's FTP site ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/supportsoftware/linux/, the latests equivalents are : hpasm-7.1.1b-95.rhel3.i386.rpm cmastor-7.1.0-12.linux.i386.rpm Then, the hpasm is for RHEL 3. As I do know nothing about RH, I have no idea which kernel is used on RHEL 3... Google says me 2.4.21. I don't know if HP has certified its health driver for 2.6.

BTW, i installed sarge on a DL360G3 a few days ago (a conversion from RHEL). it worked perfectly up until the point where i rebooted, then it kernel-paniced...couldn't find /dev/console. i suspect that the kernel that is installed to the system, or the modules in the initrd.gz, is somehow different from the one that debinstaller boots on. i fixed it by compiling a new 2.6.8 kernel on another machine, with all the drivers that it needs compiled in, and without an initrd (personally, i think initrds are way more trouble than they're worth). they make it easier for installers but they're a PITA for a running system. after installing a custom kernel, it booted up fine, and then with a lot of filesystem shuffling, i got everything that was running on the old RH system to run on the new debian system - except for the compaq health monitoring. one other problem, is that i can't get the kernel to detect the full amount of RAM - it has 2GB, but it's only detecting 1GB. I tried adding mem=1920M in grub but that didn't help. craig ps: i've got 4 more to convert to debian over the month or two, 2 x DL360s and 2 x DL380s. i'll have to figure out how to make a sarge installer iso with my custom kernel on it (and without initrd). -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (part time cyborg) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
