Hi,
I am preparing to buy a new HP server, a HP DL320G2, and would like to install Woody onto it.
The questions I have relate to the:
- On-board NICs, given on the HP site as "Two NC7760 PCI Gigabit Server
Adapters (embedded)" - the ATA RAID controller, given as "Integrated Dual Channel Ultra ATA/100
Adapter with Integrated ATA RAID 0, 1"
- video, given as "Integrated ATI RAGE XL Video Controller with 8-MB SDRAM
Video Memory"
Will woody with the standard bf2.4 kernel detect the NIC's and RAID
controller?
Video is no problem, NICs require a newer kernel, and the RAID is hopeless (no open-source driver, no real raid (some kind of software raid), and impossible to disable. There is a binary-only driver that works with some redhat and suse kernels. I wouldn't recommend this machine.
