Use GUNZIP to extract "hpahcisr-1.2.0-14.rhel5.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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=hpahcisr-1.2.0-14.rhel5.x86_64.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=hpahcisr-1.2.0-14.rhel5.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 *** Important Note for RHEL5 ONLY *** Once the OS is installed but before clicking the reboot button do the following. Failure to do so will cause the system to panic and not boot. 1. press CTRL+ALT+F2 2. cp -a /tmp/ramfs/DD-0 /mnt/sysimage/tmp 3. chroot /mnt/sysimage 4. cd /tmp/DD-0 5. sh ./fix_driver_order 6. cd / 7. press CTRL+ALT_F6 and click reboot *** Important Note for SLES10 ONLY *** SLES10 32-bit: Two boot options required are: "broken_modules=ahci" and "pci=noapic" SLES10 64-bit: One boot option required is: "broken_modules=ahci" NOTES MD5SUM: da72d7b9a29a9f0081cfd7f130ed60d9 Feedback -------- To provide kernel/driver development feedback send email to iss_storagedev@hp.com Customer Service ---------------- For support for ProLiant Smart Array controllers, please visit http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/contact_us.html Copyright 2002-2009 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
