RAID Driver Installation for SuSE* Linux
SuSE* Linux uses a program called YaST2 (Yet another System Tool) to configure the
operating system during installation. For complex installations, you can select “Install
Manually” at the first install screen and a different program,
linuxrc, is used. This section
assumes a straightforward installation using YaST2.
1. Insert CD-ROM disk 1 into the CD-ROM drive and the RAID controller driver diskette
in the floppy drive.
1. Boot to the CD-ROM.
2. The operating system loads a minimal operating system from the CD-ROM onto a
RAM disk. The operating system also loads any driver module found in the floppy
drive.
3. At the Welcome to YaST2 screen, select your language and click Accept.
4. At the Installation Settings screen, set up the disk partitioning.
5. Continue with the SuSE* Linux installation procedure.
