I am still looking someway if i can provide drivers by CD. What if i put a FDD and provides driver from it? I have done same for HP ML570,ML350 without any trouble.. I have one other box DL380 G4, which also need to be installed RHEL 3.0 On the basis of your first email you said.. "SmartArray 6i needs RHEL U4 or later...." Do you mean i need to purchase RHEL 4.0? I am still not convinced there is no other way around...
