To the end of the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf for the .14.1 errata kernel, add elevator=deadline. 3. To work around a known error message with the PCIe SSDs, add the following kernel parameter: to the end of the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf for the .14.1 errata kernel, add pci=nocrs.

Configure the RAID 0 virtual disk created in Step 1, Section A.2 to be a swap device. First note the controller ID for the PERC H710P Mini (ID 0) and the device name for the RAID 0 virtual disk (/dev/sdb) from output of the command below.
