HP / Compaq 5i Raid Controllers
Hi All,
I had a hell of a time sussing how do get slackware to install on a 5i Raid control ler but did it in the end, I have documented what I have done (I hope it makes sense) to save others having to pull their hair out :) Install Slackware then reboot onto with the CD and log in as root then mount /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /mnt -t ext3 cciss is how the HP/compaq 5i raid controller is known change to /mnt/etc make sure your lilo.conf is similar to below chroot /mnt/ lilo -M /dev/cciss/c0d0 mbr and reboot :o) xxxxxx:/etc# cat lilo.conf # LILO configuration file # generated by 'liloconfig' # # Start LILO global section lba32 # Allow booting past 1024th cylinder with a recent BIOS boot = /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. #prompt #timeout = 5 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 vga = 773 # Normal VGA console # vga = normal # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k # vga=791 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k # vga=790 # VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256 # vga=773 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k # vga=788 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k # vga=787 # VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x256 # vga=771 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x64k # vga=785 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k # vga=784 # VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256 # vga=769 # ramdisk = 0 # paranoia setting # End LILO global section # Linux bootable partition config begins image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 label = Slackware read-only # Non-UMSDOS filesystems should be mounted read-only for checking # Linux bootable partition config ends |
I wish this thread stood here about 3 months ago, hehe
I managed it to install without problems, but had to do quite a bit searching to notice /dev/cciss/c0d0 was the device... Getting Red-Hat on it (our client eventualy choose Red-Hat (for support issues)) was a little easier :rolleyes: |
Great time saver
Thanks for saving me time, found your post while searching for bugs after clocking some hours with Slackware 12.2, HP DL380 and Raid 5i. Your instructions worked right the first time out and saved me additional hours of tweaking. Thanks again.
