If you want to use the Encrypted File System in a machine that has two or more hard disks connected to different SCSI devices, you must create the Encrypted File System for the "/" partition on the first hard disk (sda) or your system may experience some problems.

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.

Problem:

I can not create initrd.img for kernel 2.6.18-53.* (SP1 maintenance kernel), I get the following error message:

No module dm-mem-cache found for kernel 2.6.18-53.*, aborting

Solution:

Please add the option “--without-dmraid” when creating initrd.img. See below:

mkinitrd --without-dmraid /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.23AXS3.img 2.6.18-53.23AXS3

Question:
Why when using Asianux Server 3 SP2 as the guest OS, when installing para-virtualization or full-virtualization, is the list of “base packages” different?

Problem:

On machines with Highpoint SATA RAID card RR1640(hpt374), the system does not boot after the installation in complete.

Solution:

1. Run "linux dd"
2. Choose driver disk and load driver ( ex. RR1640.img )
3. Complete installation
4. Before rebooting the system after install, press "Ctrl+Alt+F2" to go to the console

Description:

This happens in Asianux Server 3 SP1 whith locale set as Simple Chinese,  when installing DB2(v9.1) in text mode.

In terminal:

Explanation:
 
This will happen when a version of AXTU that is lower than axtu-1.4.0-1AXS3 is used and when Redcastle is enabled. Redcastle is an application that secures the OS. The rules that Redcastle follows prevent the complete update of AXTU. AXTU needs 7 packages to run, including axtu-gui and axtu-tui. When AXTU updates itself, those 2 packages are blocked by Redcastle when it is enabled. AXTU is then partially updated and does not function anymore.

Solution:
 
Step 1: Set Redcastle to “Disabled” or “Warning”. Please refer to the Redcastle manual.
 
Step 2: Please visit our TSN website and download the latest version of AXTU.

With a multi-boot system, Asianux 2.0 and other operating systems can share a computer. Each operating system boots from its own hard disk or partition, but only one can be booted at a time.
 

As operating systems are similar, the following description shows the coexistence of Asianux 2.0 and MS Windows as an example.
 

To install from (or via) NFS, an NFS server that can export a complete installation tree or installation CD image files for Asianux 2.0 is needed on the network. Here are the steps to configure the NFS server supporting network installation.
 
First, copy the installation CD image files or installation tree for Asianux Server to the NFS server. For the detailed explanation, you can refer to the document Installation Mode of Asianux. We assume /aa/bb/cc as the directory storing the installation tree or CD image files.
