Linux Driver Support

1 - Fedora 7 Linux installation Overview

This section provides instructions describing how to install and utilize the

RocketRAID host adapter on a Fedora 7 Linux system.

2 - Installing Fedora 7 on the RocketRAID 3xxx Host

Adapter

Note: If the OS is running kernel that differs from the one supported by the

precompiled driver, the precompiled drivers cannot be used. A driver can be built for

this kernel using the OpenSource package for the RocketRAID host adapter. This

package is available from our website, and is posted on the BIOS/Driver page for the

corresponding RocketRAID host adapter.

To install Fedora Linux onto hard disks or RAID arrays attached to RocketRAID host

adapter, follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1 Prepare the Driver Diskette

The driver is contained in a floppy diskette image file.

On a DOS or Windows system, a Fedora driver diskette can be generated using

rawrite.exe. This utility is included on the Fedora Linux CD (under /dosutils). Run

rawrite using a command prompt window, and follow the directions it provides.

On a Linux system, use the “dd” command to generate a boot diskette. Insert a

floppy disk into the floppy drive and type the following command:

# dd if=fc6-i386.img of=/dev/fd0

Note: The driver disk image file depends on your core version and hardware.

Step 2 Install Fedora Linux

Installation steps for Fedora 7

1) Boot from the Fedora Installation CD, and start the install procedure.

2) At the “Welcome to Fedora Linux” installation screen, a prompt labeled

“boot:” will appear at the bottom of the screen. Type in “linux dd” and then

press Enter.
