additional OS installation procedures.
Additional Installation Notes:
The system device mapping order is the same as the order shown in RocketRAID 174x
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 174x Driver on an Exist-
ing System
If you are currently running SLES and would like to access drives or arrays attached
to the Rocket RAID 174x controller, follow the steps outlined below:
Note:
1. If a SCSI adapter is used to boot the system, make sure the RocketRAID 174x
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.
