The biggest gotcha with linux and an older Proliant like the 2500 is
that the memory detection doesn't work right. It has nothing to do
with the settings in the SCU. You'll need to manually set the memory
size on the command line to get the kernel to boot correctly and then
in the kernel config file on your final install.

There are instructions in the group history that detail how to do
that.

For 2.4 kernels its a mem=
For 2.6 kernels is memmap=

Good Luck!

Someone else will need to answer the specifics on what to do with linux,
i
only do windows. but this question has come up many times over the years.
do
a search of google groups and i am sure you will find your answer.
