xSeries 440 Planning and Installation Guide
3.
Proceed with the installation as normal. Refer to documentation on the Red
Hat Linux CD or the following PDF:
hl-ig-as-x86-en-21.pdf
When you have completed the installation, do the following to install the kernel
source for the summit (IBM XA-32 chipset) kernel:
1.
Log in as root
2.
Insert the Red Hat Linux Advanced Server Version 2.1 CD 1 and mount the
CD (if it is not auto-mounted) with the following command:
mount /mnt/cdrom
3.
Install the summit kernel RPM with the following command:
rpm –ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-summit-2.4.9-e.3.i686.rpm
If you are compiling updated drivers on the summit kernel, you must install the
kernel source and apply the summit kernel patch prior to compiling the driver, as
follows:
1.
When installing the kernel, do one of the following:
–
If you later wish to add additional features and support to the kernel by
recompiling it, install the kernel-source RPM from either the Advanced
Server CD 2 or from the Red Hat Network site (
) if
you have previously updated the kernel, by running:
rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.9-e.3.rpm
–
If you don
’
t need to recompile the kernel, install the kernel SRPM from
either the Advanced Server CD 4 or from the Red Hat Network site
(
) if you have previously updated the kernel, by
running:
rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.9-e.3.src.rpm
Note:
If you experience a system hang when booting the default Advanced
Server kernel to install the summit kernel, reset the server, press F1 to enter
the Setup Utility and select
Load Default Settings
. Exit from the Setup Utility,
saving changes.
Note:
If you have previously updated the summit kernel from Red Hat Network
(RHN), follow these steps, substituting the appropriate kernel version where
necessary. For example, 2.4.9-e.3 would be changed to 2.4.9-e.8 for the
2.4.9-e.8 summit kernel.
