Installing Proliant DL380 G4 with slackware 10.0

[Hector Cordero]

Hi all,

I'm installing a DL380 G4 with Linux slackware 10.0 I have a smartarray controller 6i and RAID1.

when I booting from CD/ROM the system don't see the smartarray controller.

Where can I to go for get the smartarray 6i driver?

Thnks,

I don't sure that HP provides a sources for cciss driver (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/23463.html). If yes, you can try to add this driver into Slackware install CD.
IMHO, installation of RHEL (or CENTOS - free RHEL clone) or SLES will be the best solution.

Rgds,
Vitaly

Hector,

You can try the cciss drivers from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cciss/ or try if the bootdisk from http://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/slackware/slackware-10.0/bootdisks/
recognize the SA card.

Hope it helps,

Arno

Hey Hector,

First of all why dont you install the latest slack 10.2? It works fine.

Anyways slack 10 might work as well if on the boot menu of the installation ( boot: ) you load the kernel that supports the raid controllers (raid.s). In that menu you can get more help if you press the F1,F2,F3 keys.

Hi
Use the latest stable version and you will be fine

You should start the installation with the 2.6 kernel (instead kernel 2.4 by default).

At the initial prompt when you boot with the installer CD, type: test26.s
