1 - Overview

This section provides instructions describing how to install and utilize the

RocketRAID host adapter on a Fedora Core 6 Linux system.

2 - Installing Fedora Linux on RR26xx controller

Note: If the OS is running kernel that differs from the one supported by the

precompiled driver, the precompiled drivers cannot be used. A driver can be built for

this kernel using the OpenSource package for the RocketRAID host adapter. This

package is available from our website, and is posted on the BIOS/Driver page for the

corresponding RocketRAID host adapter.

If you would like to install Fedora Linux onto drives attached to RR26xx controller,

please perform the following operations:

Step 1 Prepare Your Hardware for Installation

After you attach your hard disks to RR26xx controller, you can use RR26xx BIOS

Setting Utility to configure your hard disks as RAID arrays, or just use them as single

disks.

Before installation, you must remove all the disk drives, which are not physically

attached to RR26xx controller, from your system.

Note: If you have other SCSI adapters installed, you must make sure the RR26xx

controller BIOS will be loaded firstly. If not, try to move it to another PCI slot. Other-

wise you may be unable to boot up your system.

Step 2 Check System BIOS Settings

In your system BIOS SETUP menu, change Boot Sequence in such a way that the

system will first boot from floppy or CDROM, and then from SCSI. Refer to your BIOS

manual to see how to set boot sequence.

If your BIOS settings do not support such a boot sequence, you can first set it to

boot from floppy or CDROM. After you finish installation, set SCSI as the first boot

device to boot up the system.
