SUPPORTTED KERNELS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2.4.21-138
2.4.21-169

CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette:

MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS:

1) Save the "megaide-2.26j-1.ul10.i386.dd.gz" file into a temporary 
   directory. Use WINZIP to extract "megaide-2.26j-1.ul10.i386.dd"
   from this file into the same directory. Please ensure that 
   "megaide-2.26j-1.ul10.i386.dd.gz" is a DOS 8.3 name. 

2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the UnitedLinux 1.0 
   CD #1 in the "dosutil" directory.

3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "megaide DUD for 
   UnitedLinux 1.0"
   Next, insert the diskette in the diskette drive. 
   Then, use the following commands (assuming your DUD is at the 
   location c: and your CD-ROM is drive d:)
	C:\> d:\dosutils\rawrite 

   Enter disk image source file name: megaide-2.26j-1.ul10.i386.dd
   Enter target diskette drive: a: 
   Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and 
   press --ENTER-- : Enter


MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS:

1) Save the "megaide-2.26j-1.ul10.i386.dd.gz" file into a temporary 
   directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "megaide-2.26j-1.ul10.i386.dd" 
   from this file into the same directory

2) To make a diskette under Linux (or any other Linux-like operating 
   system), you must have permission to write to the device 
   representing a 3.5-inch diskette drive (known as /dev/fd0 under 
   Linux)

3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "megaide DUD for 
   UnitedLinux 1.0".
   Next, insert the diskette in the diskette drive, but DO NOT issue 
   the mount command.
	# dd if=megaide-2.26j-1.ul10.i386.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input 
   file (if=megaide-2.26j-1.ul10.i386.dd) to an output file 
   (of=/dev/fd0) using the diskette size of 1440k (1.44MB).  

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Start by erasing the system. This step ensures that you begin the
   installation process from a known unconfigured state. 
   To perform this action, 
      - boot from the SmartStart CD-ROM
      - Select "Run System Erase Utility" from the Main Menu. And,
        press "Yes".
      - Restart the server.

2) During POST, enter the Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility.
   Please refer to the HP ProLiant Server Installation Guide for 
   detailed instructions to configure the ATA RAID. Save your changes 
   and exit the ATA RAID Configuration Utility.

   Note: If this step is skipped, then all drives will be defaulted
         to RAID 0.

3) In RBSU, change the boot sequence so that the first boot device is 
   ATA RAID Controller and the second boot device is the CDROM.              

4) Boot your system using the UnitedLinux 1.0 SP3 Installation
   Disk 1.

5) Press the ALT key at the boot screen.
   When prompted for the driver update diskette, insert the 
   "megaide DUD for UnitedLinux 1.0".

6) After the megaide driver is loaded successfully, continue with the
   installation of UnitedLinux 1.0 CD.

7) Using /media/cdrom/install.sh to install SP3 after OS installation 
   has completed to finish updating RPMs to the SP3 version.
