Install RedHat 7.3 on Dell PowerEdge 2850: a success story

This is my story on installing RedHat 7.3 on Dell PowerEdge 2850 with PERC 4e/Di SCSI RAID controller and intel e1000 network controleur.

Sory in advance for my bad english

I've spent many many hours to finally install an old RedHat 7.3 on a my new PE2850. First many many big thanks to David Ramirez Joya and Matt Domsch for writting "Mini-HOWTO install redhat 7.3 on a dell poweredge 1750" (http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2004-June/). I've tried many hours without success before found this mail. With this mail I'll be able to install within 4 hours.

I've found megaraid2 drivers on CD provided with my PE2850 (dell-megaraid2-v2.10.7-32bit-1dkms.noarch.rpm). I've following the install procedure from David except for compiling modules where I've used: 

dkms build -m megaraid2 -v v2.10.7 -k 2.4.18-3BOOT --config=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/configs/kernel-2.4.18-i386-BOOT.config --kernelsourcedir=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3
dkms build -m megaraid2 -v v2.10.7 -k 2.4.18-3smp --config=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686-smp.config --kernelsourcedir=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3
dkms build -m megaraid2 -v v2.10.7 -k 2.4.18-3 --config=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686.config --kernelsourcedir=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3
And for creating driver disk: 
dkms mkdriverdisk -d redhat -m megaraid2 -v v2.10.7 -k 2.4.18-3BOOT

Here you can find the result files:

Finally I've successfull used intel drivers for the PRO/1000 network card. You can download drivers from ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/2897/eng/e1000-5.7.6.tar.gz. Install kernel source rpm, untar drivers, make install, modprobe e1000. That's it. It works. Just add "alias eth0 e1000" and "alias eth1 e1000" in /etc/modules.conf to load drivers on boot.

Update:You must remove the line containing ehci-hcd in /etc/modules.conf. This module cause a freeze when loading.
