Hi all.
I try to install CentOS 4 x64 on HP Proliant ML G6. Anaconda doesn't correctly recognise the DVD-RW drive despite the fact that the installation starts from it. Also when I choose network (HTTP/FTP) installation type the ethernet card isn't correctly recognized. On HP website there aren't any drivers to use during installation only rpms and source rpms which (as I think) are useless at install time and can be used only when the system is installed.
I also tried CentOS 5 x64 and there are no problems with my hardware then, the installation is ok.
DVD-RW is: HP Super Multi DVD Rewriter GH40L E2C NIC is: HP NC107i Integrated PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter
What should I do? Where to start from to solve the problem?
With regards, R.

Simple - use CentOS 5.
If your really wanting to use CentOS 4 run it in a VM, or build a custom driver disk after compiling the right drivers against the kernel used during installation, this process can be quite complicated, but it is possible I did it several times, there are instructions online on how to do it.

Why do you need CentOS 4?
Have tried a USB CD drive? Or connecting a different CD drive temporarily for the install? Since you can boot okay, does v4 support net install?
