Operating System Installation Issues

Installation of legacy Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems may fail due to lack of support for new

hardware. Modify the '%post' section of "ks.cfg" to update to a newer version of the kernel or use driver

disk to install drivers.

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system installation may fail on systems equipped with multiple

RAID and/or SCSI controllers, whether installed on the system board or in PCI slots. This failure may

occur when using "Server Setup" or performing a manual installation. When two or more RAID or SCSI

controllers are present, install Red Hat Enterprise Linux with only one configured RAID or SCSI controller.

Configure the other controllers after you install the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system.

When deploying SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 11 on PowerEdge M915 using DTK automated

script (autoinst.xml), do the following:

1. In device map section,

<device_map_entry>

</device_map_entry>

change hd0 to /dev/sdc

2. In grub config section, change /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda6

3. If installer reports any missing packages, delete the packages from autoinst.xml.
