I can't comment on 5.x, but I experienced some problems with the latest HP DL360G3, as the bios was changed lately to reduce fan noises, and then a OS-dependant health driver might be needed. Otherwise, the system will overheat and switch off without warning. A possible solution might be to reactivate fan hardware control (iirc there are some hardware switches) and/or go back to an older Firmware. For the DL 360 G3 we used SP23587.exe (ProLiant DL360 G3 ROM P31 (01/09/2003)) which worked. And don't forget to complain to HP ;-) >This uses (at least in 4.x) the bge network driver and the ciss SCSI >driver.
