Problem:


Asianux Server 3 SP2 can not be installed on machines equipped with Highpoint SATA RAID card RR2240, RR2310, RR1820A and RR2220(2224). the system can not boot after installation.

 

Solution:


Please follow these steps to install the system on machines with those devices.

  1. Run "linux dd"
  2. Choose a driver disk and load the driver (ex. RR23XX.img)
  3. Complete the installation
  4. Before rebooting the system after install, press "Ctrl+Alt+F2" to go to the console
  5. Run command "chroot /mnt/sysimage"
  6. Run command "find /lib/modules -name sata_mv.ko -exec rm -f {} \;"
  7. Run command "/sbin/mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.7AXS3.img 2.6.18-128.7AXS3"

Note: If your machine has more than 4GB memory, the installer will install the PAE kernel, so you need make an initrd for the PAE kernel. Run the following command:

    "/sbin/mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.7AXS3PAE.img 2.6.18-128.7AXS3PAE"
