Re: Redhat on HP i2000 ?

HP recommends a low-level format for the system disk if HP-UX was 
previously installed.

You can low-level format the drive by accessing the QLogic Fast!Util 
utility at boot time (press <alt>-Q when the system starts).

Then, select the disk utility, select bus 0, id 0, and press enter 
(these parameters are for the configuration that HP ships).

If you then select Low-Level format, the utility will initialize the 
drive, completely destroying all of its contents.

I did a low-level format before even trying to install RedHat 7.2, and 
it worked without a hitch.
