Phase 4 - Post Installation Affairs Updating The Suse 7.3 Kernel - HP Tc2120 - Server - 256 MB RAM Installation Manual

4. Click Finish Installation to proceed to the initial login screen. Remove
the CD from the drive. You are now ready to enter into your new SuSE 7.3
Linux environment.
NOTE: If installing to the Promise FastTrak100 TX2 card, the system will not boot at this
point, unless you perform the kernel update procedure below. 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-2.4.16-
37.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.
