1. The system will now load the RocketRAID 2320 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 2320.

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

2320 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 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 /mnt/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‘/rr2320.o).
