I know I had a legacy install on a Proliant I supported that was installed upside down and burnt out it's drives after a few years (surprised it lasted that long). When I came on-site to reinstall it, I tried to install 16.04 since I already had the install media on me, I couldn't as it had issues with the RAID array controller. I had to roll back to 14.04 and then upgrade it to maintain compatibility. I had a similar issue with CentOS6/7 a bout a year ago as well, also on HP servers. In my experience, both times it was the RAID controller.

I suspect it may be 32Bit computer but it should give you a i386 hardware error during installation.

while 18.04 is only 64 bit you can use the net install at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/bionic/

it has a community supported 32 bit version available

I have an older Proliant server I am trying to make use of at home. The hardware is fully functional, and aside from needing some spare drive sleds, It is ready to go.

However, I cannot run 18.04 on the server and I suspect it is related to changes in the kernel and I am trying to map those.

The Architecture is Dual Opteron quad-core Processors and DDR2 ECC Registered memory. I think it is a DL 365 Gen 1 (would have to look to make sure)

Does anyone have thoughts on how I could gracefully get this hardware to a current kernel?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
