DESCRIPTION:
                                                                                
This driver diskette image provides the binary driver module pre-built
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 to enable the 
HP Prolaint 64-Bit/66-Mhz Dual Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI Controller.
 
Using this driver diskette at Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 installation time allows
the most up-to-date driver version included in the diskette to be used,
rather than the default driver version contained in the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 installation CD.

NOTES
                                                                                
CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE
                                                                                
There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette:
                                                                                
MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS:
                                                                                
1) Save the "aic7xxx-6.3.11-7.rhel4.i686.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory.
Use WINZIP to extract "aic7xxx-6.3.11-7.rhel4.i686.dd"
from this file into the same directory.
Please ensure that "aic7xxx-6.3.11-7.rhel4.i686.dd" is a DOS 8.3 name.
                                                                                
2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 CD in the "dosutil" directory.
                                                                                
3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Driver Diskette".
Next, insert the diskette in the diskette drive. Then, use the following commands
(assuming your ProLiant Disk Image is at the location c: and your CD-ROM is drive d:)
                                                                                
        C:\> d:\dosutils\rawrite
                                                                                
Enter disk image source file name: aic7xxx-6.3.11-7.rhel4.i686.dd
Enter target diskette drive: a:
Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press --ENTER-- : Enter
                                                                                
                                                                                
MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS:
                                                                                
1)  Save the "aic7xxx-6.3.11-7.rhel4.i686.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract
"aic7xxx-6.3.11-7.rhel4.i686.dd" from this file into the same directory
                                                                                
2)  To make a diskette under Linux (or any other Linux-like operating system), you must have permission to write
to the device representing a 3.5-inch diskette drive (known as /dev/fd0 under Linux)
                                                                                
3)  First, label a blank, formatted diskette appropriately (ProLiant Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette
into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command:
                                                                                
        # dd if=aic7xxx-6.3.11-7.rhel4.i686.dd  of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
                                                                                
4)  This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=aic7xxx-6.3.11-7.rhel4.i686.dd) to an
output file (of=/dev/fd0) using the diskette size of 1440k (1.44MB).  To make another diskette label that diskette,
and run "dd" again, specifying the correct input file.
