Have you run the HP/Compaq SmartStart CD? It lets you configure system
BIOSs. If this was a used machine, it is possible that the previous
owner may have disabled the onboard nics.. perhaps to run some other
hardware in its place.
The CDs are available at hp.com. Try to pick one that is dated about
the same as the machine you are working with, or you might waste a lot
of download time to find the version is too new.
fyi, the DL585 G2 is quite new.
I have two DL585 running quad opteron 850 (single core 2.4Ghz), one is
running RHEL3, the other RHEL4, both x86_64, I don't recall havinng to
install any special drivers or anything.
However, the G2 is the 2nd generation of this 4-socket server, and
likely has newer NICs. HP should have RHEL4 drivers which should work
just fine with CentOS4 kernels.. I find HPs support of Linux is much
better than that other major vendor of x86 hardware with the 4 letter name.
on my DL585 (non-G2) boxes, `lspci` lists...
