The
default
variable is changed to
HP
that corresponds to the Xen kernel and a new
image
stanza is inserted into the file. This new stanza is missing a line, which causes the server hang
during reboot.
To avoid the system hangs during reboot, you must modify the file
/etc/elilo.conf
manually
after the MPT Fusion driver is installed and
before
rebooting the server using the following steps:
1.
Edit
/etc/elilo.conf
.
2.
Add the following line immediately after the line,
image=vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5xen
in the
label=HP
stanza:
vmm=xen.gz-2.6.18-92.el5
The file should now look like:
prompt
