Having recently completed beating my head against the wall to get FC3 
installed and running on a Proliant DL360 G2 ... have you set the system type 
to "Linux"?  Untill I realized that this needed to be done, it was a lot of 
pain.

If the Dl380 is anything like the DL360 G2, you need to hit F9 during the 
initial stuff the system goes through (it is toward the end), this will bring 
up configuration of the BIOS stuff where you can select system type.  I found 
that it needed to be set BEFORE you did the install.  Why the Compaq/HP 
Proliant needs to know the system type it will be running is a puzzle to me.
