SOLVED: RHEL 4 with HP ML150 G3 install problem: two drivesdisplayedinstead the raid drive

[Nikkilä Tommi]

True, but there is a caveat (at least with older Proliants and/or kernels): you must make a new initrd _before_ rebooting after the installation or your newly found drivers will not work (that is, they are not included in the initrd). This is all explained in the manuals and howtos but is easy to miss.

Firts, thanks to all the people who has tried to solve our problem.

The key is download the correct image drivers disk, which are, for HP Proliant ML150 G3, in the next pages:

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/27186.html
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/25814.html

We needed the raid controller and also the sata driver.

After download and make the disks, you only need to load the drivers typing linux dd in the firs installation prompt and all goes well.

Regards.

Asunto: RHEL 4 with HP ML150 G3 install problem: two drives
displayedinstead the raid drive


Hello list.

We've a problem installing RHEL 4 U5 in a HP Proliant ML150 G3. It seems to be a problem with the raid controller, because when we want partition the disk, two drives appears instead of one (only the logical raid 1 drive). The raid 1 has been created and verified.

In the installation notes we've seen that to get RHEL 4 installation recognize the driver, we have to use linux dd command at the prompt of installation but we didn´t find how to make the driver disk and tell with the 'linux dd' command where to find the driver. 

We basically needs how to:

- make the driver disk
- sintaxis of linux dd command

Or another solution if you know how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.
