HPT370/372/372A Red Hat Linux Installation Guide

for Red Hat Linux 7.2

# chroot /mnt/sysimage

# mkdir /mnt/floppy

# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

# sh /mnt/floppy/postinstall

# umount /mnt

Then press Alt-F1 to return to the setup screen and press ENTER to finish setup.

3 Installing HPT370/372/372A Driver on an

Existing System

If you are currently running Linux and would like to access drives or arrays attached to the

HPT37x controller, you can perform the following steps.

Note

1. If you use a SCSI adapter to boot your system, you must make sure the HPT37x

controller BIOS will be loaded after that adapter' s BIOS. If not, try to move it to

another PCI slot. Otherwise you may be unable to boot up your system.

2. If you are using a multi-processor system, you must boot from a uniprocessor kernel to

install the driver since current driver does not support SMP. For HPT370/372A, you

can just boot from " Linux UP" if it is available. For HPT372, you must first update the

kernel with " vmlinuz.hpt37x2" on the boot diskette.

3. A defect in default Red Hat Linux 7.1/7.2 kernel will hang your system during boot

phase with HPT372 chip. So, if you want to use HPT372 chip with Red Hat Linux

7.1/7.2 system, you should boot from the provided boot floppy and update the kernel

first.

Step 1 Obtain the Driver Module

You can extract the module file from the file modules.cgz on the driver disk. Using the

following commands:

# mount /dev/fd0

# cd /tmp

# gzip -dc /mnt/floppy/modules.cgz | cpio -idumv

Driver modules for different kernel version will be extracted:

/tmp/2.2.16-22/hpt37x2.o

/tmp/2.4.2-2/hpt37x2.o

/tmp/2.4.7-10/hpt37x2.o

Step 2 Update the Kernel (Red Hat Linux 7.1/7.2 Only)

If you are about to use Red Hat Linux 7.1/7.2 system with HPT370 or HPT372

Red Hat Linux 7.0 driver

Red Hat Linux 7.1 driver

Red Hat Linux 7.2 driver
