  HP 6-Port SATA RAID Controller

DESCRIPTION:

This driver diskette image provides the x86 binary driver modules pre-built 
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) to enable the HP 6-Port SATA RAID 
Controller.

Using a driver diskette at Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) installation time allows the most up-to-date driver version included in the diskette to be used, rather 
than the default driver version contained in the Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) installation CD.

CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE

There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette:

MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS:

1) Save the "aacraid-driverdisk-1.1.5-2391-i686-RHEL3.img" file into a temporary directory. 

2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) CD.

3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "HP Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) Driver Diskette". 
Next, insert the diskette in the diskette drive. Then, use the following commands 
(assuming your Disk Image is at the location c: and your CD-ROM is drive d:)

	C:\> d:\dosutils\rawrite 

Enter disk image source file name: aacraid-driverdisk-1.1.5-2391-i686-RHEL3.img
Enter target diskette drive: a: 
Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press --ENTER-- : Enter


MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS:

1)  Save the "aacraid-driverdisk-1.1.5-2391-i686-RHEL3.img" file into a temporary directory. 

2)  To make a diskette under Linux (or any other Linux-like operating system), you must have permission to write to the device representing a 3.5-inch diskette drive (known as /dev/fd0 under Linux)

3)  First, label a blank, formatted diskette appropriately (HP Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command:

	# dd if=aacraid-driverdisk-1.1.5-2391-i686-RHEL3.img  of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

4)  This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=aacraid-driverdisk-1.1.5-2391-athlon-RHEL3.img) to an output file (of=/dev/fd0) using the diskette size of 1440k (1.44MB).  To make another diskette label that diskette, and run "dd" again, specifying the correct input file.


INSTALLATION

To install Linux using this "HP Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) Driver Diskette", boot your Linux
machine with your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) CD1 in your CD-ROM Drive.

A menu will be displayed, prompting for your input. Type the following 
line of code to inform the operating system of the diskette:

# linux updates dd

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) will prompt for the Updates Diskette and the HP Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) Driver Diskette during the installation procedure.
