Just some further information for others who may experience this problem.
I tried to use portlock to image a 5.1 SP 5 server to a DL380 G4 server
and got the same error.
I did some lab testing with a ML 350 G4 server. Installed 5.1 SP 4 overlay
CD onto a Compaq iPaq Pentium III workstation, I then used portlock to
image the server onto the ML 350 G4. NetWare 5.1 with SP 4 worked on the
ML 350 G4, however I don't know if I would want to run it in production
like that as it appeared to be a bit flaky (the odd abend/reboot
sometimes). Installed SP 5 on the ML 350 G4 and after the reboot I got the
error Fatal Hub Link Error on starting server.exe. So my suggestion would
be that at bare minimum you should only run NetWare 5.1 with SP7 on a HP
G4 server. I also believe this is also HP's recommended minimum for
NetWare 5.1 see link.

Hope this helps someone else out there as I wish it existed for me when I
came across this problem.
