Installation will now proceed normally. Refer to SLES Linux documents for
additional OS installation procedures.

Additional Installation Notes:

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 be 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 RocketRAID 2322 Driver on an Existing System

If you are currently running SLES and would like to access drives or arrays attached
to the Rocket RAID 2240 controller, follow the steps outlined below:

Note:

If a SCSI adapter is used to boot the system, make sure the RocketRAID 2322 control-
ler BIOS loads/posts after the SCSI adapter’s BIOS. It may be necessary to move the
adapter(s) to another PCI slot.

Step 1 Update Grub

If you are running an SLES 9 SMP System, you must first update the /boot/grub/
menu.lst.

Example:

default=0
timeout=8
title Linux
kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinux root=/dev/hda1 acpi=off
initrd (hd0,1)/initrd

Reboot the system to allow the new kernel parameters to take effect.
