Well we have made an effort and he needs to atleast try.  The worst that
could happen is it not working. Better Yet, the Disk Controller being no
good. If he is really having probs then maybe he should try a Live CD or
a HP Hardware tester (if one is available).

They have 2 different versions here for the HP DL140 G3. I think this is
what he wants -  mptlinux-4.00.13.01-2.rhel5.i686.dd.gz. That's for
'x86' and he mentioned the mpt drivers.

Pretty new server if you ask me. Seems like it should have HP support or
service contract still. Kinda wondering why he has not called them?  If
it came from HP with RHEL then he can call them *if* he has a
'Subscription'.
