4. BIOS Update
===============
To update BIOS for onboard HPT3xx controller, please refer to your
mainboard manual or contact the hardware vendor for updating BIOS.
To update BIOS for HPT3xx adapter, you can use HighPoint BIOS loading
utility.
5. Device Driver
=================
The driver disk for Red Hat Linux includes compiled driver modules for Linux
kernel version 2.2.16-22(smp), 2.4.2-2(smp), 2.4.7-10(smp) and 2.4.18-3(smp).
To install the device driver, refer to the installation guide.
6. HighPoint ATA RAID Management Software
==========================================
The management software requires that you have an X-Window system installed.
Refer to the installation guide and user's manual to learn how to setup and
use the management software.
7. Known Problems
==================
1) Booting problem after drive configuration changed
If you add or remove drives after OS installed, Linux may have problem to
boot since the device name will change. To solve this problem, first get the
correct device name on which the root file system resides, then type
"linux.hpt37x2 root=/dev/sdx" (where sdx is the device name) at "LILO:"
prompt (if the booting screen is graphic mode, press Ctrl-X to enter text
mode first). After you boot into system you can modify /etc/lilo.conf to
use the correct root device.
2) OS device name may change after drive configuration changed
If you add or remove drives after OS installed, the OS device name may change.
In this case if you have statically configured device names (E.g, in file
/etc/fstab), OS will have problem. You must modify the configuration files to
solve this kind of problem.
3) Installing OS to SCSI disk
When install OS to drives on SCSI adapters, you must first remove drives on
HPT3xx controller from the system. Otherwise the system may be unable to boot
up after installation. |
