Support Notes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES v.4 Update 3 for the Intel Itanium Processor on HP Integrity Servers

Type cd /etc/init.d and press Enter.a.
b. To configure, type chkconfig salinfod on and press Enter.
c. To start salinfod without rebooting, type service salinfod startand press Enter.
16. If you use cdrecord to burn a CD, you may need to eject the CD and reinsert before you can mount
it.
17. This issue affects Linux running on the following systems: rx1600, rx1620, and rx2600..
The Management Processor UART on these systems does not supply the Carrier Detect signal. This
causes applications to hang when opening the UART device, waiting for Carrier Detect, unless they
use the O_NDELAY or O_NONBLOCK flag.
For example, echo foo > /dev/ttyS0 hangs.
This is usually not a problem because /dev/ttyS0 is usually used as a console, the agetty process
opens it with O_NONBLOCK, and processes spawned by agetty generally inherit the already-opened
device.
However, there are some cases where the device must be opened again, and applications observed
the hang.
You may also need to add the -L option to the agetty line in the /etc/inittab file as show below
to resolve the problem:
co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100-nav
After editing the file, signal the init process to re-read the inittab file with the following command:
kill -HUP 1
If you are logged in to the console, then exit and log in again to restart the agetty.
18. In a text-based installation, the partition displays from either autopartion or disk druid will disply
filesystems of 1 terabyte or greater without a size suffix such as M or G. These filesystems will appear
to be much smaller than they really are.
