On a DOS or Windows system, a driver diskette can be generated using
rawrite.exe.
This utility is included on the SuSE Linux CD (under /dosutils). Run rawrite
using a
command prompt window, and follow the directions it provides.
1 – SuSE Linux 10.1 installation Overview
This section provides instructions describing how to install and utilize the
RocketRAID 152x Adapter on a SuSE Linux system.
2 - Installing SuSE Linux on the RocketRAID 152x Host
Adapter
Note: If the OS is running kernel that differs from the one supported by the
precompiled driver, the precompiled drivers cannot be used. A driver can be built for
this kernel using the OpenSource package for the RocketRAID 152x controller. This
package is available from our website, and is posted on the BIOS/Driver page for the
RocketRAID 152x.
To install SuSE onto hard disks or RAID arrays attached to RocketRAID 152x
controller, follow the steps outlined below:
Step 1 Prepare the Driver Diskette
The driver is contained in a floppy diskette image file (slesdd.img).
On a Linux system, use the “dd” command to generate a boot diskette. Insert a
floppy disk into the floppy drive and type the following command:
# dd if=susedd10.1.img of=/dev/fd0
Step 2 Install SLES Linux
1.
Start the install procedure by booting from SLES installation CD.
2.
After the CD boots, select the “Installation” option and press F5 to load the
driver.
3.
Insert the Driver Diskette when it displays “Please insert the Driver Update
floppy”.
4.
For SuSE 10.x, type “brokenmodules=hpt366” and press enter.
5.
When the “Diver Update Menu” is displayed, press “OK” and “back” for back
to installer.
