Using this driver diskette at SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 installation time allows the most up-to-date driver version included in the diskette to be used, rather than the default driver version contained in the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 installation CD. FIXES * Mon Apr 27 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.00.13.04-7 - Updated rpm code to better edit SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server boot entries and avoid inheriting boot options from the Failsafe boot entry. * Thu Nov 13 2008 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.00.13.04-4 - Initial changelog entry. ENHANCEMENTS * Mon Apr 27 2009 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.00.13.04-7 * Thu Nov 13 2008 Linux Storage Driver Team 4.00.13.04-4 SUPPORTED KERNELS: The kernels of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 (AMD64/EM64T) supported by this driver diskette are: 2.6.16.60-0.21 - SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 SP 2 (AMD64/EM64T) CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS: 1) Save the "mptlinux-4.00.13.04-7.sles10.x86_64.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "mptlinux-4.00.13.04-7.sles10.x86_64.dd" from this file into the same directory 2) To make a diskette under Linux (or any other Linux-like operating system), you must have permission to write to the device representing a 3.5-inch diskette drive (known as /dev/fd0 under Linux) 3) First, label a blank, formatted diskette appropriately (ProLiant SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=mptlinux-4.00.13.04-7.sles10.x86_64.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=mptlinux-4.00.13.04-7.sles10.x86_64.dd) to an output file (of=/dev/fd0) using the diskette size of 1440k (1.44MB). To make another diskette label that diskette, and run "dd" again, specifying the correct input file. INSTALLATION Note: If HP System Insight Manager support is required, please install the latest Proliant Support Pack and mptlinux-4.00.13.04-7.sles10.x86_64.rpm after the OS has completed its installation process and system has rebooted. 1.
