Re: Compaq Proliant 370 installation
Hai;
Check the maillistarchive; I posted something on this yesterday (if it
arrived).
I bumped in to that as well.
Try google with: proliant 370 linux install
By messing arround, you must be able to find wich bootmessage to give to
the kernel.
Mine looks like#boot: linux(image'compact'rescuediskette) smart2=0x6000
sim710=addr:0x8000,irq:15
You should know where your array is in terms of basememory adress. On
the proliant I have, it's the EISAslot number. i.e.: 6; basememory
adress=0x6000
What kind of arraycontroller you need to fill in, I don't know. But this
must get you started.
When you install LILO; DON'T install it in MBR! (another compraq got me
on that one). Make the compraq partition bootable (/dev/ida/c0d0p3) and
install LILO on you rootpartition(/dev/ida/c0d0p1). Then add to LILO the
alternative of F10 and it's location. And add what you did to show the
kernel where to look for the array, to append='here is the array and
onboard you bastard'
run lilo and you should be off. (of course this info is as is. warranty
void if used)
Thanks
