2) At the “Welcome to Fedora Linux” installation screen, a prompt labeled “boot:”

will appear at the bottom of the screen. Type in linux dd, then press Enter.

boot: linux dd

3) When prompted “Do you have a driver disk?”, select “Yes”. At the “Insert your

driver disk and press OK to continue” prompt, insert the driver diskette in the

floppy drive and then select “OK”.

4) The system will now load the RocketRAID 2320 driver automatically.

Note: For the Fedora Core 3 x86_64 version, there is an option to disable the NMI

watchdog.

Some hard disk’s long reset time will cause the NMI watchdog to fault. Add the kernel

command line “nmi_watchdog=off”.

3 - Installing the RocketRAID 2320 driver for an Existing System

Note: If a SCSI adapter is used to boot the system, make sure the RocketRAID 2320

controller 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 /media/floppy/modules.cgz | cpio -idumv

Driver modules for all supported kernel versions will be extracted. The driver module

for the active kernel is located under the directory that matches the kernel version (/

tmp/‘uname –r‘/i686/rr2320.ko).
