"The Red Hat CD does not have an EFI partition and it is normal that you ca=
nnot see it in EFI. To install Linux, insert the Enablement Kit CD and star=
t elilo from it.
Then you get a menu with a point "Install Linux from distributor media". Af=
ter choosing this point, you will be pointed to insert the RedHat CD and th=
e installation will beginn."

So basically, it sound like you need to boot from a disk that came with you=
r server, not the Redhat disk... Unless that's what you are already doing a=
nd still have a problem?
