You haven't given us very much information to go on. The DL145 comes with
different processors and different disk controllers. Anyway, the answer
is to visit the page you gave us, pick the version of RedHat you have,
then look for the heading "Driver Diskettes". Download the appropriate file,
copy the image to a floppy, then insert it when asked to during the
installation process.

You'll find more detail on HP's driver diskette web page.

By the way, whatever happened to the DL380 you were trying to install
RedHat 9 onto? The procedure for that is basically the same, but you'd
have to make your own driver disk, or get someone like me to make it for
you.
