HighPoint RocketRAID 2322 - Manual (Page 54)

Linux Driver Support
5. The system will now load the RocketRAID 2322 driver automatically.
6. When prompted “Where do you want to install the boot loader? ” in the
“Boot Loader Configuration” dialog, select “Master Boot Record (MBR)” to
instruct the system be to boot from the RocketRAID 2322.
Continue the installation as normal. You can refer to Red Hat Enterprise Linux
installation guide.
Note:
The system device mapping order is the same as the order shown in RocketRAID
2322 BIOS Setting Utility. If no other SCSI adapters are installed, the device marked
as “BOOT” or “HDD0”will identified as /dev/sda, “HDD1” as /dev/sdb, “HDD2” as /
dev/sdc, etc. When creating mount points, /boot must be mounted on /dev/sda.
2 - Installing the RR2322 driver for an Existing System
Note: If a SCSI adapter is used to boot the system, make sure the RR2322 controller
BIOS loads/posts after the SCSI adapter’s BIOS. It may be necessary to move the
adapter(s) to another PCI slot.
Step 1 Obtain the Driver Module
Extract the module file from the file modules.cgz (from the driver disk) using the
following commands:
# mount /dev/fd0
# cd /tmp
# gzip -dc /mnt/floppy/modules.cgz | cpio -idumv
Driver modules for all supported kernel versions will be extracted. The driver module
for the active kernel is located under the directory that matches the kernel version (/
tmp/‘uname –r‘/rr232x.o).
