Subject: installing on Compaq DL380 PIII 700 Xeon
This is somewhat off-topic, but I'll comment on it anyway since the
information is already on the list:

P3 Xeons do exist, but they are completely different from P4 Xeons. Of
course, they are not dual-core, nor do they support hyperthreading, so a
P3 Xeon appears as just one CPU (which it is) to the OS.
P3 Xeons are similar to "regular" P3s. AFAICR, the differences are a
bigger L2 cache, official support for a quad-CPU configuration, and a
different slot connector (thus requiring special motherboards).

Obviously, fdisk would not work without the RAID controller driver -
there are simply no hard drives visible to the Linux kernel.
