Installation as a boot device in Linux 

The supported Mint and Ubuntu distributions do not provide a standard method to use the RevoDrive 

350 as a system boot drive.

To use the RevoDrive 350 as a boot device in Fedora: 

Install the hardware

; see 

page 3

Install the driver and set the RevoDrive 350 as a boot device

Install the driver and set the RevoDrive 350 as a boot device 

To use the RevoDrive 350 as the system boot device, you must install the Linux device driver as part 

of the Linux distribution installation process. Mint and Ubuntu distributions do not provide a driver 

installation process, so you cannot use them as a system boot device. 

To use Fedora distributions as a boot device, we provide 

dd

 files for each distribution. 

To install Fedora 22 and later, you must have an active internet connection during the 

installation. 

1

Go to 

http://ocz.com/consumer/download/drivers

 and copy the dd image for your Fedora 

distribution to a USB flash drive (use the whole USB flash drive, not a partition), using the 

following command:

dd if=oczpcie_fedora.

xxx

.dd of=

path_to_USB_drive

 

2

Boot from the Fedora setup DVD; when the boot menu appears, press 

Esc

. A 

boot

: prompt is 

shown. 

3

Plug the USB flash drive in. At the boot: prompt enter:

linux rdblacklist=mvsas modprobe.blacklist=mvsas ks=hd:

USB_device_name

:/oczpcie.ks

 

4

The system starts to boot. Note that the system may stop for several minutes on the Running 

pre-installation scripts stage; this is normal.

5

When the

 INSTALLATION DESTINATION

 option is shown, ensure that the RevoDrive 350 drive 

is selected (NOT the USB flash drive). Note that the Fedora installer may not correctly determine 

the RevoDrive 350 drive model name and may show it as 

Unknown

. Continue the installation as 

usual.

6

When rebooting at the end of the installation, select the RevoDrive 350 drive as the boot drive.

If you re-install grub2 at any time, you must add 

part_msdos

 and 

part_gpt

 to the pre-loaded 

modules, for example: 

grub2-install --modules="part_msdos part_gpt" /dev/

RevoDrive

If you do not do this, you may end up with an unbootable system and have to use a recovery 

disk.

Installation as a storage device in Linux 

To use the RevoDrive 350 as a storage device in Linux: 

Install the hardware

; see 

page 3

Install the driver in Linux

; see 

page 5

Format the RevoDrive 350 as storage using the standard method for your Linux distribution.
