20 HP BIOS Serial Console User Guide Linux Red Hat 7 ATA Driver Settings By default, Linux Red Hat 7.1 OS uses only the ATA driver in PIO mode for the server blades ATA controller. Use the following change to set the driver to use DMA and higher speeds (66 MHz/100 MHz): 1. Add ide0=ata66 to the LILO append line described in step 2 in Linux Red Hat 7 Serial Console Settings (on page 19): Append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0, 115200 ide0=ata66" 2. Run /sbin/lilo to make the changes take effect. Linux Red Hat 7 NIC Driver Settings By default, Linux Red Hat 7.1 OS uses the eepro100 driver. HP has tested the Intel® e100 driver and recommends changing to this driver. To change the default driver, change the lines eepro100 in /etc/modules.conf to e100. For example, networking lines in modules.conf are: alias eth0 e100 alias eth1 e100 This change takes effect at the next reboot.
