FastTrak66/100 Redhat Linux 6.2 and 7.0 Readme This bootable SCSI Module only supports Redhat 6.2 and 7.0. If you choose to use any other Kernel or version of the Redhat you must recompile the Kernel against our SCSI module. Redhat 6.2 Extract the contents of the zip file onto a formatted floppy disk. 1.) Start the Redhat Install by booting with the installation diskettes or bootable CD ROM. 2.) At the "Welcome to Red Hat Linux 6.2" installation screen, a prompted labeled "boot:" will appear at the bottom of the screen. At the prompt type "expert text" (without quoations) and then press the enter key. 3.) At the "Devices" dialog box insert the diskette with the module in the floppy drive and then select "ok". 4.) After reaching the "Devices" dialog box again, select "Add Device". 5.) When asked "what kind of device would you like to add?", select "SCSI", and then select "ok". 6.) Now press "P" key and scoll down to "Promise IDE RAID SCSI Driver", and then select "ok". 7.) The installation process will now display the "Promise FastTrak IDE RAID SCSI Driver" as been found, select "done". 8.) Continue with the installation as normal. When you reach the partitioning you will only be able to use "Disk Druid". Create a 1 gig root partition and then use the remaining space to define to "/usr" folder off of the root. This must be done because Redhat 6.2 has a 1 gig SCSI boot limitation. LILO MUST BE INSTALLED ON THE MBR IF YOU WANT TO BOOT FROM THE ARRAY. Redhat 7.0 Extract the contents of the zip file onto a formatted floppy disk. 1.) Start the Redhat Install by booting with the installation diskettes or bootable CD ROM. 2.) At the "Welcome to Red Hat Linux 6.2" installation screen, a prompted labeled "boot:" will appear at the bottom of the screen. At the prompt type "expert text" (without quoations) and then press the enter key. 3.) At the "Devices" dialog box select "Yes". 4.) At the "Insert your driver disk and press the "OK" to continue" prompt, press "OK". 5.) After reaching the "Devices" dialog box again, select "Add Device". 6.) When asked "what kind of device would you like to add?", select "SCSI", and then select "ok". 7.) Now press "P" key and scoll down to "Promise IDE RAID SCSI Driver", and then select "ok". 8.) The installation process will now display the "Promise FastTrak IDE RAID SCSI Driver" as been found, select "done". 9.) Continue with the installation as normal. You may boot from any size partition as Redhat 7.0 does not have the 1 gig boot limitation that 6.2 does. LILO MUST BE INSTALLED ON THE MBR IF YOU WANT TO BOOT FROM THE ARRAY.
