The kernel must be updated in SuSe 7.3 from 2.4.10 to 2.4.16. Phase 4 - Post Installation Affairs Updating the SuSE 7.3 Kernel NOTE: In networked environments, HP highly recommends updating the SuSE 7.3 kernel to 2.4.16. 1. Insert the media containing the updated 2.4.16 kernel (k_deflt-2.4.1637.i386.rpm) and drivers. If it is on CD-ROM, enter the command: mount /dev/cdrom 2. Use rpm -Uvh k_deflt-2.4.16-37.i386.rpm to install the updated kernel. 3. If using a Promise FastTrak100 TX2, copy driver compiled for 2.4.16 kernel, FastTrak.o, to /lib/modules/2.4.16-4GB. 4. Edit /etc/rc.config and change INITRD_MODULES="" to INITRD_MODULES="FastTrak" (only if you're using a Promise FastTrak100 TX2). Substitute FastTrak for whatever boot device you are using (e.g., aic7xxx). 5. Run mk_initrd. 6. Edit /etc/lilo.conf, after the line image=/boot/vmlinuz add: initrd=/boot/initrd 7. Run lilo -v. 91

4.
Edit
/etc/rc.config
