2 Installing Red Hat Linux on HPT370/372/372A
Controller
If you would like to install Red Hat Linux onto drives attached to HPT37x controller, please
perform the following operations:
Step 1 Prepare Y our Hardware for Installation
After you attach your hard disks to HPT37x controller, you can use HPT37x BIOS Setting
Utility to configure your hard disks as RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0/1 or JBOD arrays, or just
use them as single disks.
Before installation, you must remove all the disk drives, which are not physically attached
to HPT37x controller, from your system.
Note
If you have other SCSI adapters installed, you must make sure the HPT37x controller
BIOS will be loaded firstly. If not, try to move it to another PCI slot. Otherwise 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.
Step 3 Prepare the Driver Diskette
If you are installing Red Hat Linux 7.0/7.1, just copy all the files under rhdd directory to a
dos formatted diskette.
