Installing the Driver in a New SuSE System
In this scenario, you are installing the controller in a new SuSE
Linux 8.1, 8.2 or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 system. To install
the driver:
1 Install and configure the controller and hard drives according to
the instructions in Chapter 2.
2 Turn on the computer. During startup, press Ctrl+A to start the
ARC utility. Use the ARC utility to create the array. For details,
see Checking Your Controller and Devices on page 2-3.
3 Insert the first SuSE Linux distribution CD.
4 Restart the computer.
5 When the SuSE Linux installation screen comes up, press the
left ALT key.
6 When prompted, insert the driver disk.
7 Follow the SuSE instruction to configure your system for your
preferred environment.
Note: Some versions of SuSE Linux cause the driver to hang in
SMP (Symmteric Multi-Processors) machines. To prevent this
disable apic support. This can be done by typing
noapic
at
the GRUB loader command prompt.
