My linux installation failed...?
I have a PowerEdge 2950 with two HDD in RAID1 configuration with a PERC6i controller.
I want to install Redhat Enterprise 4; but as a PERC6i drivers are not installed on the server I can't access to my HDD. So Dell recommande to install drivers during the system installation.
This is what I did:
1. I'd downloaded it on the Dell site. The package is release as a compressed tar file. Its name is megaraid_sas-v00.00.03.21-4-R193772.tar
2. For extracting the compressed file, I execute this command:
> tar -xzvf
The package contain the following files:
- megaraid_sas-v00.00.03.21-4.noarch.rpm
- megaraid_sas-v00.00.03.21-src
- megaraid_sas-v00.00.03.21.dkms.spec
- dkms-2.0.19-1.noarch.rpm
- megaraid_sas-v00.00.03.21-4.txt
For creating the diskette(Driver Update Disk), I must use this commande:
> dd if= of=/dev/fd0
Normally this cmd allows to creat a Disk Image.
But, as you can see on my list (the contain of the package) no file has an img extension.
3. I tried to do it using these files (one by one) :
- megaraid_sas-v00.00.03.21-4.noarch.rpm
- megaraid_sas-v00.00.03.21-src
- megaraid_sas-v00.00.03.21.dkms.spec
- dkms-2.0.19-1.noarch.rpm
eg: dd if=megaraid_sas-v00.00.03.21-4.noarch.rpm of=/dev/fd0
4. After preparing my DUD diskette, I start linux installation in an expert mode with this cmd: linux expert dd , then it asks me to provide my driver update disk. I do it and press ENTER but I receive this msg: the system where anable to mount the diskette.
I don't know what is wrong
How should I tape the commande for creating an DUD (Driver Update Diskette)?
Is it possible to creat a image file which will have an img extension?
Help please
