Dell Technologies recommends reviewing this update to determine if it applies to your system. The update contains changes that impact only certain configurations or provides new features that may or may not apply to your environment.
Currently, two versions of the Red Hat Linux 9 CDs are available to the public. 1) Kernel 2.4.20-8 2) Kernel 2.4.20-6
The two images included in this release are meant to assist in installing Red Hat Linux 9 on a PowerEdge 1650 or PowerEdge 4600
It is important to identify the kernel on the CD before proceeding.
To identify the kernel version on the CD, perform the following steps:
Using a Linux system 1) Insert Red Hat Linux 9 CD 1 into your CD-ROM drive 2) mount /mnt/cdrom 3) ls /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-*
Using a Windows System 1) Insert Red Hat Linux 9 CD 1 into your CD-ROM drive 2) Explore the Red Hat CD-ROM drive 3) Click the RPMS folder 4) Look for files that start with kernel-.
Download boot-floppy-rh9.tar.gz to a temporary directory (/tmp) in your Linux system and untar it. cd /tmp tar -xvzf ./boot-floppy-rh9.tar.gz
Now, write the image that matches your kernel into a floppy. Insert a blank floppy into the floppy drive. From your Linux system, do the following: If your CD's kernel is 2.4.20-8: dd if=./boot-floppy-rh9-2.4.20-8.img of=/dev/fd0 If your CD's kernel is 2.4.20-6: dd if=./boot-floppy-rh9-2.4.20-6.img of=/dev/fd0
Boot your system with this floppy. Once you get to the "Installation Method" screen (assuming you are doing a CD install), insert your Red Hat Linux 9 CD and follow the installation instructions on the screen
