HPIKL driver disc
Recent versions of Red Hat Linux typically require only driver updates with minor fixes to support HP
workstations. These releases can usually be supported with the HPIKL driver disc, which can be used as
a post-installation utility for the standard Red Hat Linux install.
After you complete the standard Red Hat install and restart the system, a Red Hat first-boot utility runs.
After you specify a number of settings (such as the security level, time and date, root password, user
accounts), the utility lets you to load additional disc.
The driver disc is used during this phase. All content added by HP is in the /HP directory on the disc.
You can use it to build your own image or to browse the HP content.
NOTE: Some installations may encounter problems if they are performed with a DisplayPort
connection to the monitor. This is because the default drivers that the OS installers use do not support
DisplayPort functionality. If you experience problems, try overriding the monitor choice for DisplayPort
during the start of the install and using the VESA driver instead. You can then set up the DisplayPort
monitor later.
Installing with the HP Red Hat Linux driver disc
1. If you do not have the appropriate HP driver disc for a supported stream, create one (see HP
Installer Kit for Linux (HPIKL) on page 39.)
2. Install the operating system using the optical media included in the Red Hat Linux box-set.
3. If you have a Red Hat driver disk for the OS version you are installing, enter linux dd on the
initial install splash screen, and then press Enter.
4. When asked if you have a driver disc, select Yes. Place the Red Hat driver disc in the drive, and
select the appropriate drive:hd[abcd]. Continue the normal installation.
5. After successfully installing the operating system, reboot the workstation.
●
RHEL 5: the Red Hat Setup Agent (also known as first-boot) automatically starts. At the
Additional DVDs screen, insert your HP driver disc and select Install. When the driver
installation task is completed, continue following the prompts until the operating system is
successfully installed.
●
RHEL 6: Insert your HP driver disc. The HPIKL installation software automatically starts. Follow
the prompts to install the contents.
Warranty
As part of the HP workstation hardware warranty, HP provides software configuration and installation
support for certified versions of Red Hat Linux for up to 90 days from date of purchase.
