SOURCE: DELL DL-380 G5 "could not allocate page table memory" GSS 2.5

First of all, Dl380 is an hP product.
Secondly your ghost version seems a bit old as ghost 14 is the latest version. Having said that the problem could be at two ends.
1. At the ghost side where your version doesnot contain NIC drivers for PXE boot and HDD drivers for imaging. To fix this you can try manually adding the drivers to the network boot or floppy boot diskette.
You can get the drivers from HP website or the PSP CD that came with the server.

Alternatively you can upgrade to RDP instead of GHOST, RDP is Symantec's offering sold by HP for imaging it's servers.

2. There's some problem with your NIC settings or card if you are trying to PXE boot.
If you are using a floppy drive/ usb HDD, check from BIOS if it is detected.

The amber clearly states there are some problems with the hardware. Either with the power module, CPU or memory. Try contacting the vendor and get it repalced.

My dl 380 does a shutdown when we get a small power outage with ups attached

Test the UPS. The server will stay up as long as there is power and has not overheated, should it be a cool room.

Hi, my name is prince can any body help me. I have a mother board gigabyte 845 and we can not installed xp. we have done the partition but when system copy the system file from CD the system againt showing...

Are you installing Windows XP service pack2? This is the problem from the bios, upgrade the bios with latest and it might solve your issue. But be very careful when upgrading the BIOS if the proper version of the BIOS is not upgraded it may corrupt the bios and will make the motherboard dead. Download the manual of upgrading the BIOS from the website, you will also get the latest version of the BIOS from there.
