Installation Tips
NOTE. There is no built-in driver for onboard SATA RAID in the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.0. You need an external USB floppy drive for applying driver
during the OS installation.

RAID, you need to make a driver diskette from the EasyBUILD first before
the installation.
2. Type linux nostorage when the prompt boot: appears at the start.
3. Process the installation.
4. Click “Add Device” when you see a screen with the button.
5. Press F2 to select driver from floppy
6. Please select the sda as the Driver Disk Source.
7. After the driver is loaded, the list of all drivers will appear again.
8. Scroll down the driver list and select LSI megasr Driver <version> in the list
9. Follow the instruction to load the integrated SAS hardware RAID driver
from the driver diskette.
10. At the package selection step, select Software Development for the
installation package.
11. Please follow the normal procedure to finish the installation.
Gigabit Ethernet Driver Installation
NOTE. Please install the kernel-devel-<version> package with the CD #1 of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 prior to install the Gigabit Ethernet driver.
1. You can find the Gigabit Ethernet driver in EasyBUILD. Please copy the
driver from the EasyBUILD to HDD first.
# mount /dev/dvd /mnt

2. Remove the OS built-in NIC driver
# rmmod e1000.ko
3. Change the directory to the driver source and install the driver
# cd /tmp/src/
# make install
# insmod e1000.ko
4. Run the kudzu utility, it will auto detect the Gigabit Ethernet controller
and help you to configure it.
