Installation Tips
NOTE. There is no built-in driver for Integrated SAS hardware
RAID in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 EM64T. You need an
external USB floppy drive for applying driver during the OS
installation.
1.
Since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 EM64T cannot recognize
the integrated SAS hardware RAID, you need to make a
driver diskette from the EasyBUILD 8.0 build 100 first
before the installation.
2.
Type
linux dd
when the prompt
boot:
appears at the start.
3.
Please select the
sda
as the
Driver Disk Source
.
