Installation instructions
Custom Instructions for mptlinux-2.02.02-i686.tar.gz:
Creating the driver disk
------------------------
You will need a formatted 3 1/2 inch floppy diskette for the
following procedure.
Extract the files in the archive to the floppy disk as follows:
- Under Linux
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
tar xvzf /mnt/floppy
(Eg: /root/linux-driver.tar.gz)
umount /mnt/floppy
- Under Windows
You can use Winzip to extract tar.gz archives. However,
note the following settings under Winzip to ensure correct
extraction of the files.
Go to Options -> Configuration
Under the Miscellaneous tab make sure "TAR file smart
CR/LF conversion" is unchecked.
On opening the tar.gz archive with Winzip, we get the
following prompt:
'Archive contains one file. Should Winzip decompress it to
a temporary folder and open it?'
Press 'yes' and extract the file normally under Winzip to
the floppy drive.
Installing the LSI Logic PCI SCSI controller as the boot device
---------------------------------------------------------------
1. Install the controller and connect to the hard drives as
explained in the hardware installation guide.
2. Make sure the LSI Logic controller shows up before all
other SCSI devices but after the floppy drive and CD-Rom
in the system BIOS boot order.
3. Boot normally from the Redhat installation CD-Rom.
4. Type 'linux dd' on the boot prompt.
5. When the install prompts for a driver disk, insert the
driver disk created above and press 'Enter'.
6. Complete the installation as directed by the install.
7. After completing the installation, remove the floppy
from the drive and reboot the machine.
8. When RedHat boots for the first time, login as root.
9. Insert the floppy into the drive and execute the
following commands at a command line:
mkdir -p /mnt/floppy
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
cd /mnt/floppy
./post_install.scr
cd
umount /dev/fd0
NOTE: This script file will copy the necessary modules to
the proper directories. Failure to execute this script will
cause error messages when executing "mkinitrd". Mkinitrd
is typically executed when updating drivers on the server.
Installing the LSI Logic PCI SCSI controller as a secondary storage
device
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Install the controller and connect to the hard drives as
explained in the hardware installation guide.
2. Make sure the controller you want as the boot device
shows up before all other SCSI devices but after the
floppy drive and CD-Rom in the system BIOS boot order.
3. Boot normally from the Redhat installation CD-Rom.
4. Type 'linux dd noprobe' on the boot prompt.
5. When the install prompts for a driver disk, insert the
driver disk created above and press 'Enter'.
6. The install doesn't autodetect any SCSI controllers. You
will need to manually select the device drivers from the
SCSI list. Make sure you select the driver for the boot
controller of your choice first.
7. To install the drivers for the LSI Logic PCI SCSI
controller first select "Fusion MPT base driver" and then
the "Fusion MPT scsi host driver" from the SCSI list.
8. Complete the installation as directed by the install.
9. After completing the installation, remove the floppy
from the drive and reboot the machine.
10. When RedHat boots for the first time, login as root.
11. Insert the floppy into the drive and execute the
following commands at a command line:
mkdir -p /mnt/floppy
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
cd /mnt/floppy
./post_install.scr
cd
umount /dev/fd0
