Installation Tips
NOTE. There is no built-in driver for integrated SAS hardware RAID in the SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 9 EM64T Service Pack 3. You need an external USB
floppy drive for applying driver during the OS installation.
1.
Since SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 EM64T Service Pack 3 cannot
recognize the integrated SAS hardware RAID, you need to make a driver
diskette from the EasyBUILD 7.1 build 300 first before the installation.
2.
Boot the system form SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 EM64T Service Pack3
bootable CD.
3.
When you see the boot menu on the screen, select Installation, press F6
then press Enter to continue.
