Ok, I've got a guy here - he's really a network guy, and he's trying to put RHEL4 on a Proliant server, a DL380, I believe. It's *all* hardware RAID, and the std. RHEL4 CDs can't id the h/d. He's tried d/l a package from HP, but that unzips to a file.dd, which I'm thinking needs to be dd'd to something....

Anyone have any ideas where he needs to go?

You'll most likely need either the cpqarray or cciss drivers. I have
a pair of DL580's that are similar in hardware and that's the modules
needed for RHEL4 to see the (hardware RAID) volumes.

The file.dd is probably a floppy disk image, which can be written to a
floppy with "dd if=file.dd of=/dev/fd0". The drivers on that floppy
can then be loaded during the installation process.
