Installation instructions
Custom Instructions for CERC-E-aacraid-RHEL4Gold-1.1.5.2392-A01.tar.gz:
There are two ways of installing the device driver on Redhat Linux. One is using a driver
disk during OS installation and the second is using a driver RPM to update the driver after OS
is installed. The steps for both of these methods are provided below. All the files needed for
both methods are included in the provided tar file.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Create the installation driver diskette from the provided IMG file.
1. Using a UNIX/Linux system mount the drive containing the img file.
2. Insert a blank floppy disk in your floppy disk drive.
3. Use the dd command to copy the image to the floppy by issuing the following the command:
dd if=/path to img file/aacraid-1.1.5.2392-kernel2.6.9-5.EL-x86_64-kernel2.6.9-5.ELhugemem-i686-kernel2.6.9-5.EL-i686-kernel2.6.9-5.ELsmp-x86_64-kernel2.6.9-5.ELsmp-i686-dd.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
Install Redhat with the driver diskette.
1. Boot normally from the Redhat installation CD-ROM
2. Type "linux dd" at the boot prompt
3. At the "Do you have a driver disk" screen select “Yes”.
