When prompted for the installation media,
remove the “Boot CD” and insert the 1st
installation disk
and select "CDROM" as your installation media. From this point on,
you should proceed with the screen instructions, as instructed by your Linux
TM
distributor.
Additional RedHat™ and Fedora™ Installation Notes (7)
Please see the following notes for the remaining part of the installation.
1
Select
LILO
as your bootloader where possible, otherwise select GRUB.
2
It is recommended that you disable the firewall when prompted (select “
No Firewall
”).
3
In case you forget to disable the firewall during the installation and want to do it after the
installation, run the following command:
/usr/bin/redhat-config-securitylevel-tui --quiet –disabled
4
It is recommended that you assign a
static IP address
to your V6100. So when the
installation has been completed, you will be able to create an SSH remote connection
and continue the post-installation configuration.
5
During the bootloader configuration (after you selected which bootloader you want to
install), you will be prompted to provide additional text to be appended to the kernel.
Ensure that the installation (grub-installer or lilo-installer) recognizes the serial console
and contains the following text:
console=ttyS0,115200
6
If there is no text (i.e. the installer did not recognize the serial console), then insert the
following:
text console=ttyS0,115200
7
Once the installation has been completed, you will be prompted to re-start the V6100.
If the installed kernel is version 2.6 or later (Fedora Core 4 or later, RedHat
Enterprise 4 or later) then see the Post-installation Notes for Kernels 2.6+.
Post-installation Notes for Kernels 2.6+ (Fedora™ Core 4+ and RedHat™ EL 4+): (4
Notes)
1
When the V6100 is re-booting and after the BIOS phase, there is a bootloader phase
(GRUB or LILO) which starts uncompressing & loading the kernel. After the kernel is
loaded the services will start. While the services are loading and the message “
Press ‘I’
to enter interactive startup
” appears, press “I” .
2
Once the hardware has been detected, you will be prompted whether to start each
service. For the
syslog service
, select “N” (in order NOT to load it).
3
After you login (either serially or using SSH) to the V6100, you should disable the syslog
service from being started during system startup. In order to do that you have to disable
the
S**syslog
file located in both /etc/rc3.d and in /etc/rc5.d directories The file is usually
called
S12syslog
.
