FC12 on Proliant DL760

[John Rowan]

I am guessing since my e-mail address on file with the Fedora Project 
didn't match the e-mail "From" below is why this didn't make it to the 
list.  I'm trying a third time.

I'd sent the e-mail below apparently to the wrong address.

I downloaded the DVD image, burned it, verified the media after burning 
then tried to install on the Proliant DL760.
The error says there are no disks to install FC12 onto, prompting me to 
load a driver.  It displays a lengthy list of drivers but nothing 
specific to the Compaq Proliant.  Under CentOS the Smart Array 
Controller is referenced as /dev/ida/c0d0, I don't know why FC12 isn't 
recognizing the Compaq RAID controller.

Can someone tell me how I can get FC12 to install on my Proliant?

TIA

I've been trying to install FC12 on a 4 processor Proliant DL760.
I tried the net install CD having the DVD mounted on another server
exported with NFS but that failed.
I copied the files to a SCSI disk and tried installing from /dev/sda1
but that fails also, I can't remember the error, something about mismatch.

I downloaded and burned the 5 CD iso images to CD-R media.  Booting from
disc 1 FC12 asks me to load a driver or choose where to install from
displaying the /dev/sda1. It appears FC12 doesn't see my CDROM drive any
longer as it's source for installing.

I also tried removing the CDROM and installing a CD-RW/DVD, FC12 boots
and gets to the same screen wanting to load a driver or continue
installing from /dev/sda1 which fails with the mismatch.

Anyone have a tip on how to install FC12 on a Compaq Proliant DL760?
