Steps to install and upgrade SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 7 On The ProLiant 
ML330 G3 ATA Server.

==============================================================================

DESCRIPTION:
------------ 
Specific steps are required in order to install SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 7 
on the ProLiant ML330 G3 ATA server.

Note: These steps apply only to SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 7 on the ProLiant 
ML330 G3 ATA server.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DETAILS:
-------
The following steps are to be used to install SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 7 
base kernel on the ProLiant ML330 G3 ATA server: 

1) Locate the LSI CSB6 driver for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 7 for the 
ProLiant ML330 G3 ATA server in this "tar" bundle. The latest version of the 
driver is bundled into lsi_csb6_SLES7-2.50d-1.tar.gz

- Un-tar and unzip the "tar" bundle. On a Linux system, you could also use the
following command to do so: 
   
# tar -xvzf  [filename].tar.gz

- Create a diskette from the ".dd" file that results from the action above, 
and label it "LSI CSB6 driver diskette."  On a Linux system, use the following 
command:
     
# dd if= ./[filename].dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=18k

- To create a diskette from an ".img" or ".dd" file on a Windows system, use 
RAWRITE which can be located on the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 7 CD-ROM 1.


2) Boot the ProLiant ML330 G3 ATA server from SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 7 
installation CD-ROM 1.  When the Linux "boot" screen is displayed, press the 
left ALT key to supply the driver diskette.  Insert the "LSI CSB6 driver 
diskette" in the diskette drive.


3) Proceed with the installation and complete the necessary steps to install the 
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 7 (base kernel) operating system on the ATA hard 
drive(s).


HP recommends upgrading to the 2.4.18-275 kernel and using the corresponding 
LSI CSB6 driver RPM provided on the HP Linux web site.

The following steps are to be used to upgrade to the 2.4.18-275 kernel and the 
corresponding LSI CSB6 driver:  

1) Obtain the 2.4.18-275 kernel from the SUSE LINUX Maintenance web site:
 Note:  This may require a registering for the SUSE LINUX Maintenance 
 Program to download the 2.4.18-275 errata kernel.


2) Locate the LSI CSB6 driver RPM for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 7 for the 
ProLiant ML330 G3 ATA server in this "tar" bundle. This is the driver 
for the errata kernel 2.4.18-275.  The latest version of the driver is called 
lsi_lsicsb6_SLES7-2.50d-2.i386.rpm


3) Install the 2.4.18-275 errata kernel, for example:

# rpm -Uvh k_smp-[errata].rpm


4) Install the LSI CSB6 errata driver RPM for the 2.4.18-275 errata kernel:

# rpm -Uvh lsi_lsicsb6_SLES7-2.50d-2.i386.rpm


5) Reboot the server. When the server is booting, choose the boot entry created 
when the LSI CSB6 errata driver RPM was installed.  For example, HP-18-64GB-S.
