8. Read the Red Hat documentation to understand the disk space/size requirements for the
Red Hat 7.x installation.
9. Ensure the system is set to boot from the CD-ROM drive and boot to the Red Hat 7.x
CD-ROM. At the boot prompt, type "linux dd" and press <Enter> to continue.

When the installation is complete, remove the floppy disk from the drive and reboot the system.
Installing an Intel RAID Controller SRCU32 onto an
Existing Linux Server
Installation of Driver Sources from the Intel RAID Controller
SRCU32 CD-ROM
The same procedure can be used for updating a currently installed Intel RAID Controller SRCU32
driver using the driver sources.
1. If you are installing the driver sources from the Intel RAID Controller SRCU32 CD-ROM, and
if the CD InstallShield has not started automatically, place the Intel RAID Controller SRCU32
CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive and use the following procedure:
a. Mount the CD-ROM by typing the following command:
$ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
b. Copy the driver sources to /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi
c. Enter the following command:
$ cp /mnt/cdrom/linux/drivers/gdth.tgz /usr/src/linux/ drivers/scsi*
d. Unpack and unzip the tar file using the following command:
$ tar -zxvf /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/gdth.tgz
* Linux kernel versions are specific. For example, the directory /usr/src/linux-2.4.2 is specific to Linux
kernel version 2.4.2 found in Red Hat version 7.1. You should be aware of the specific path for the
distribution.
2. Compile a new kernel with module support and "GDTH SCSI" support enabled. This
procedure depends on the Linux distribution. "Make config," "make dep," and "make clean"
may be necessary to install the RAID volume. Refer to the specific Linux distribution
documentation for help.
3. Compile the modules. This procedure depends on the Linux distribution. Refer to the specific
Linux distribution documentation for help.
4. Configure "Lilo.conf" to use the new module support. This procedure depends on the Linux
distribution. Refer to the specific Linux distribution documentation for help.
