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:
.
2 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.

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.
