Installation Tips
NOTE. There is no built-in driver for Integrated SAS SW RAID in the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.0. You need an external USB floppy drive for applying driver
during the OS installation.
1.
Since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 cannot recognize the integrated SAS
SW RAID, you need to make a driver diskette from the EasyBUILD 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.
4.
Follow the instruction to load the integrated SAS hardware RAID driver
from the driver diskette.
5.
At the package selection step, select Software Development for the
installation package.
6.
Please follow the normal procedure to finish the installation.
Gigabit Ethernet Driver Installation
NOTE. Please install the
kernel-devel-<version>
package with the CD #1 of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 prior to install the Gigabit Ethernet driver.
1.
You can find the Gigabit Ethernet driver in EasyBUILD. Please copy the
driver from the EasyBUILD to HDD first.
# mount /dev/dvd /mnt
# cp –R /mnt/Disk/R520/NIC/Intel/pro1000.lx/. /tmp
2.
Remove the OS built-in NIC driver
# rmmod e1000.ko
