Linux Driver Support

When prompted “Insert your driver disk and press OK to continue”, insert the

driver diskette into the system’s floppy drive, and select “OK”.

1. The system will now load the RocketRAID driver automatically.

2. When prompted “Where do you want to install the boot loader? ” in the “Boot

Loader Configuration” dialog, select “Master Boot Record (MBR)” to instruct the

system be to boot from the RocketRAID host adapter.

Continue the installation as normal. You can refer to Red Hat Enterprise Linux

installation guide.

Note:

The system device mapping order is the same as the order shown in RocketRAID

BIOS Setting Utility. If no other SCSI adapters are installed, the device marked as

“BOOT” or “HDD0”will identified as /dev/sda, “HDD1” as /dev/sdb, “HDD2” as

/dev/sdc, etc. When creating mount points, /boot must be mounted on /dev/sda.

3 - Installing the ROCKETRAID 230x driver for an

Existing System

Note: If a SCSI adapter is used to boot the system, make sure the RocketRAID host

adapter BIOS loads/posts after the SCSI adapter’s BIOS. It may be necessary to

move the adapter(s) to another PCI slot.

Step 1 Obtain the Driver Module

Extract the module file from the file modules.cgz (from the driver disk) using the

following commands:

# mount /dev/fd0

# cd /tmp

# gzip -dc /mnt/floppy/modules.cgz | cpio -idumv
