I get a 404 on the url in the OP's post, but if someone has a url to the driver disk in question, I can try and look at what the issue might be
Hi
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_103_13121.shtm
Or go to http://www.scms.waikato.ac.nz/~clintd/R905/ just to get the files I obtained from Dell.
On closer reading of the instructions I see that the say to use a USB CD/ DVD drive anyway so I am confused as to what the point of the driver disk really is.
That part is probably a typo. It says to use a FDD or USB removable storage for the driver disk image. Either expand it to a floppy, which the server probably doesn't have, or put it unexpanded onto a USB flash drive. Then boot from the built in optical drive and use the linux dd command.
Or you can use linux dd=http://130.217.247.31/~clintd/R905/rhel5-sata_svw-2.10.6-manykernels-dd.img (watch the wrap, above should be on one line) to pull it off your webserver if you give the setup a proper gateway address so it can reach outside.
