Hi,
Up until now, I've only installed Linux either on "desktop" hardware, meaning one of the desktop PCs in the LAN acted as a server machine for the network, or I rented some dedicated server somewhere in a datacenter.
Last week I bought some server hardware, a used HP Proliant ML150. It's the first time I am dealing with this sort of hardware. The hardware was sold "as is", without any warranty.
When I open the front cache, there are six small "drawers", and the bottom two of them each contain a 72 GB hard disk.
I inserted a CentOS 5.4 install CD (1 of 6), and the installer (linux text) booted correctly. But when it comes to partitioning, it "sees" no disk.
You most probably need a driver disk; searching for the model and 'RHEL driver' tells me that you need a "Driver Diskette for HP ProLiant Smart Array Controller", which you can get at hp.com.
Rather, you must first create an array of the disks included (if it's a brand new server).

Hello there,
I don't know about ML's but with DL series CentOS don't have any problems at all and with seeing disks in particular. So I presume that Rainer is absolutely right. You have to build an array first. Check this link http://docs.hp.com/en/9320/acu.pdf
