4.  Click Finish Installation to proceed to the initial login screen. Remove 

the CD from the drive.  You are now ready to enter into your new SuSE 7.3 
Linux environment. 

 

NOTE:  If installing to the Promise FastTrak100 TX2 card, the system will not boot at this 
point, unless you perform the kernel update procedure below. The kernel must be updated in 
SuSe 7.3 from 2.4.10 to 2.4.16. 

Phase 4 – Post Installation Affairs Updating the SuSE 7.3 Kernel 
 

NOTE:  In networked environments, HP highly recommends updating the SuSE 7.3 kernel to 
2.4.16. 

 

1.  Insert the media containing the updated 2.4.16 kernel (k_deflt-2.4.16-

37.i386.rpm) and drivers. If it is on CD-ROM, enter the command:  
 
mount /dev/cdrom

 

2.  Use rpm –Uvh k_deflt-2.4.16-37.i386.rpm to install the updated 

kernel. 

3.  If using a Promise FastTrak100 TX2, copy driver compiled for 2.4.16 kernel, 

 to /lib/modules/2.4.16-4GB. 

4.  Edit /etc/rc.config and change INITRD_MODULES="" to 

 (only if you're using a Promise 

FastTrak100 TX2). Substitute FastTrak for whatever boot device you are using 
(e.g., aic7xxx). 

5.  Run mk_initrd.  

6.  Edit /etc/lilo.conf, after the line  

 
image=/boot/vmlinuz

  

add:  
 
initrd=/boot/initrd  

7.  Run lilo –v.
