HP Integrity BL860c Server Blade Linux Installation white paper

selection and select just the following packages underneath the
"Development Tools" selection: elfutils, gcc, kernel-devel, libtool,
make, redhat-rpm-config, rpm-build.
After the install completes and you are logged into Linux, then change
the CD/DVD to the one with tg3-<version>.src.rpm. Then do the following
to mount this CD/DVD file from Linux:
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom/
Proceed to the 'Installing the RPM Package' step. When installing the
RPM package something like the following will probably work:
rpm -ivh /media/cdrom/tg3-3.71b-1.src.rpm
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 AS/ES Installation via PXE
=====================================================
Install the tg3-<version>.src.rpm onto your PXE server to enable
you to easily copy it over to your new system using the EFI
tftp command.
The standard RHEL4U4 instalation media can be used to install from a
PXE server by using the following kernel command line when starting
up the RHEL4U4 install image:
ethtool="speed=1000, duplex=full, autoneg=off"
Go thru the RHEL4U4 install over the network and select the packages
that you need plus the package(s) to be able to build the tg3 driver.
The high level package that is needed to build the tg3 driver is:
"Development Tools". If you want to limit the software installed for
building the tg3 driver then use the F2 key during package selection and
select just the following packages underneath the "Development Tools"
selection: elfutils, gcc, kernel-devel, libtool, make,
redhat-rpm-config, rpm-build.
After the install completes and is rebooting, enter the EFI shell
instead of starting up Linux. Change to the volume corresponding to the
EFI boot partition. Use the tftp command to get the
tg3-<version>.src.rpm file from your PXE server. An example of this is
show below:
Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> ls
Directory of: fs0:\
02/01/07 05:59p <DIR> 2,048 EFI
0 File(s) 0 bytes
1 Dir(s)
fs0:\> tftp
tftp> get tg3-3.71b-1.src.rpm
Received 118081 bytes
tftp> quit
fs0:\> exit
After getting the tg3-<version>.src.rpm file then exit the EFI shell and
select Red Hat Enterprise Linux and all it to start up. When Linux boots
the Ethernet port will not come up until to install the new tg3 driver.
Proceed to the 'Installing the RPM Package' step. When installing the
