Linux(Fedora,Red Hat,SuSE) Driver Support
Insert a floppy disk into the floppy drive and type the command:
# dd if=rr26xx-suse-10.3.img of=/dev/fd0
Step 4 Install SuSE Linux
1. Start installing by booting from SuSE installation CD.
2. When CD boots, press the Alt or F3 for Driver Disk and select "Installation"
option. For SuSE9.0, press F3; For SuSE Linux 9.1/9.2/10.3, press F6; For SuSE 9.
3/10.0/OpenSuSE 10.2, press F5; For SuSE 10.1, press F3 for more options then
press F5; For OpenSuSE 10.3 press F6 and boot with option "insmod=floppy";
3. Insert the Driver Disk when it displays "Please insert the Driver Update floppy".
Note:
For SuSE 9.1 x86_64, the setup kernel doesn't include a floppy controller driver so
the floppy drive is not accessible. You have to use a USB floppy to load the driver.
4. For SuSE 9.0, When Diver Update Menu pop-up, press "OK" and "back" for back
to installer. For other OS, just skip this step.
5. Continue the installation as normal. You can refer to SuSE Linux documents about
OS installation.
Additional Installation Notes:
1. The system device mapping order is the same as the order shown in RR26xx BIOS
Setting Utility. If you have no other SCSI adapters installed, the device marked as
"BOOT" or "HDD0" will be /dev/sda, "HDD1" will be /dev/sdb, "HDD2" will be /
dev/sdc, etc. When creating mount points, you must mount /boot on /dev/sda.
2. The driver may work incorrectly on some specific motherboard, such as DFI77B
VIA KT400. You can type "acpi=off" when a prompted label "boot:" appears.
When "Error occurred while installing GRUB" dialog appears, you can change
boot loader from GRUB to LILO.
3. Since SuSE9.1 boot installation kernel does not load the driver for common floppy
controller during installation, so it is necessary to install a USB floppy drive to
load additional driver.
