DESCRIPTION

There is an infrequent situation where a 2.0 USB disk-on-key/jump drive will not be properly
recognized by the operating system when plugged into an HP xw9300 Workstation. The error
message indicates that the USB device is not a valid block device.

SCOPE

You can work around this problem by inserting the problem device in one of the other USB ports
available on the HP xw9300 Workstation.
AMD64/EM64T on HP xw9300 Workstation Does Not Contain the
Necessary LAN Drivers to Enable Network Install or PXE Booting
DESCRIPTION
RHEL 3 Update 4 does not properly recognize the network device provided by the nForce
Professional 2200 chipset, which is in the HP xw9300 Workstation. Because the install
kernel/process does not include this LAN driver, network installs and PXE booting will not work.
SCOPE
This affects all versions of RHEL 3 U4 running on any HP xw9300 Workstation.
RESOLUTION
NOTE: This issue has been resolved in RHEL3U5. If you are using RHEL3U4, then the following
resolution still applies.
1. Go to http://www.hp.com/support/xw9300.
2. Click download drivers and software.
3. Click Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (AMD64/EM64T)
4. Under the Utility Tools section of the table, you will find Network/PXEboot install for nForce
Professional 2200. Select obtain software to download xw9300_network_install.tgz.
5. Unpack the file: tar xvfz xw9300_network_install.tgz
The file contains:
isolinux/initrd.img
images/boot.iso
images/pxeboot/initrd.img
SRPMS/kernel-2.4.21-27.EL.src.rpm
The initrd.img and the initrd.img within the boot.iso contain the needed LAN drivers to
support the nForce Professional 2200 built-in-LAN.
