2 General adapter problems Action: If you are installing the brocade_driver_linux_.tar.gz driver package, the driver module compiles on the system during installation. If driver build errors result when you install the package, verify that the appropriate distribution kernel development packages are installed on your host system for the currently running kernel. These packages should include the gcc compiler and the kernel sources. If these are not installed, you will need to install them through your Linux OS Software Management tools or reinstall the operating system before you can continue the driver installation. Be sure to "install everything" including the developer library options. UEFI boot problems This section describes problems that may occur when using the Brocade adapter and unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) for booting a host system from a remote storage device (boot over SAN). Possible causes and recommended actions to help resolve the problems are provided. System will not boot over SAN or on local disk in Legacy BIOS mode On some IBM UEFI based systems, Hard Disk 0 is not present after Legacy Only option in boot manager and system will not boot as local disk or over SAN.
