Using this driver diskette at Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 for AMD64 & EM64T 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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 at AMD64 & EM64T installation CD. FIXES ENHANCEMENTS The kernels of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 supported by this driver diskette are: 2.6.9-5.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 (AMD64/EM64T) 2.6.9-11.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 Update 1 (AMD64/EM64T) 2.6.9-22.EL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 Update 2 (AMD64/EM64T) INSTALLATION To install Linux using this "ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 at AMD64 & EM64T" Driver Diskette, boot your Linux machine with your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 at AMD64 & EM64T CD1 in your CD-ROM Drive. A menu will be displayed, prompting for your input. Type the following line of code to inform the operating system of the diskette: # linux updates dd Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 at AMD64 & EM64T will prompt for the Updates Diskette and the ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 at AMD64 & EM64T Driver Diskette during the installation procedure. NOTES Installation CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette: MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS: Save the driver diskette image file into a temporary directory. Note: Please ensure that driver diskette image file is save in a DOS 8.3 name. Use the "rawrite" utility which can be obtained from the Linux OS media. Insert a floppy diskette in the diskette drive, run the rawrite utility and follow the on screen prompts. MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS: Save the driver diskette image file into a temporary directory. Note: 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). Insert a floppy diskette in the diskette drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=[driver diskette image filename] of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k Customer Service ---------------- For support, please send email to contact.hp@hp.com.
