This Proliant (ml330 G3) has an HP CSB-6 (LSI/Megaraid) disk controller that isn't recognised by the installer.
A quick search on Google reveals drivers from RH7 - AS2.1 but nothing for 3 or 4 unless anyone knows different!? If not I'll just have to disable it and install a supported RAID card.
Anyone!?

I have the CDs for 3.3 but will download 3.4 or 4 if necessary.
The megaraid driver is hit and miss it works good with some controllers and not with others ... there are improvements in newer kernels.
I would download the boot.iso from both centos-3.4 and centos-4.0 and see if it recognizes the controller.
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/images/
and
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3/os/i386/images/
Boot from the ISO file and do:
linux rescue
When asked pick that the rescue image is at an http location use the below information:
server: mirror.centos.org
path: centos/4/os/i386
Since there is no linux currently on there, skip the mounting question ...
fdisk -l
should tell you if the drives are recognized
----------------- You could also download just the CD-1 for centos-3.x and centos-4.x from a public mirror and boot from that, then do:
linux rescue
from the isolinux boot prompt as well ... if one works, then get the other ISOs for that version.

Johnny,
Many many thanks for the info - The megaraid drivers for 3.3 and 3.4 do not recognise the controller but 4 does so I'm downloading the ISOs -
Thanks again
Nigel
The 3.4 release notes mention the fact that the megaraid driver was replaced with a 2.x version which doesn't support some of the older PARC boards such as the PARC2 that I happen to have. It seems to indicate the old driver is also available as part of the install but the auto probe will default to the newer megaraid2 driver
