server cpu is quad-core xeon e5530..
server ram is 24gb Unregistered PC3-10600 (DDR3-1067)
ethernet cards are Embedded HP NC362i Integrated Dual Port Gigabit

when i finished the installation i couldn't ping the server..


Minimum Supported Red Hat Updates
  . Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3
 . Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 1 2
 
 1 A Driver Update Diskette for the network interface card is required.
 
 2 The DL160 G6 will be certified with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8

maybe i have to update the driver.

SME 7.4 fully updated is based on Centos4.8.. AFAIR one of the eth port is for Ilo.. did you try to simply swap the port? (I admit, I made the same mistake some time ago with a ML310)

one of the 2 eth is/could be dedicated to iLo (check your manual for reference)..

in the past I had the same problem with a ML310: I plugged the cable in the wrong eth coukld not ping anywhere.

please post the result of

Code: [Select]

lspci -v | grep -i ethernet

and of

Code: [Select]

ifconfig

another question? is your server in server&gateway mode or server only?

ok.. you could:

- insert an additional pci-e lan adapter to connect to internet and update your server to the latest available kernel
- download rpms from another pc then do a yum localinstall..

I don't know if you can simply download latest kernel or you need also other packages..

try with http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/smeserver/releases/7.4/smeupdates/i386/RPMS/kernel-smp-2.6.9-89.0.16.EL.i686.rpm
