Linux Driver Support
4. When the “Diver Update Menu” is displayed, press “OK” and “back” for back
to installer.
5. Next. Select “back” to return to the installer.
6. 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
2310 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.
3 - Installing the RocketRAID 2310 Driver on an Existing System
If you are currently running SLES and would like to access drives or arrays attached
to the RocketRAID 2310 controller, follow the steps outlined below:
Note:
1. If a SCSI adapter is used to boot the system, make sure the RocketRAID
2310 controller BIOS loads/posts after the SCSI adapter’s BIOS. It may be
necessary to move the adapter(s) to another PCI slot.
2. The driver may work incorrectly on certain motherboards (such as DFI77B
KT400). For these motherboards, add the “acpi=off” kernel parameter in the /
boot/grub/menu.lst:
kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 acpi=off
initrd (hd0,1)/initrd
Step 1 Update Grub
If you are running an SLES SMP System, you must first update the /boot/grub
/menu.lst.
