Yes, it can be done, but first check whether CentOS 5.5 works with the HP DL120 G6. Check the hardware certification section of the Red Hat website. If it passes, try moving it. If it boots into a kernel panic, use a boot disc to enter rescue mode and run: cat /tmp/modprobe.conf > /mnt/sysimage/etc/modprobe.conf Then chroot and run yum install kernel to install the latest kernel. Another method is to use mkinitrd. For example: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.img 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 Where: /boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.img is the initrd filename, which you can find under /boot. 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 is the kernel version. Then update the MAC address in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx.
