ELILO boot: Uncompressing Linux... done

Loading file HP-initrd-2.6.18-92.el5xen.img...done

This is the result of the MPT Fusion driver rebuilding the initrd file and modifying elilo.conf when the it is installed. The following is a comparison of the elilo.conf file contents before and after the driver installation:

Before

prompt timeout=20 default=linux relocatable

image=vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5xen vmm=xen.gz-2.6.18-92.el5 label=linux

initrd=initrd-2.6.18-92.el5xen.img read-only root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 append="-- rhgb quiet"

After

prompt timeout=20 default=HP

#Corresponds to kernel 2.6.18-92.el5xen

#(previously, default=linux) relocatable

image=vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5xen vmm=xen.gz-2.6.18-92.el5 label=linux initrd=initrd-2.6.18-92.el5xen.img read-only root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 append="-- rhgb quiet"

#The following entry was added by Proliant HBA install script

#in package mptlinux-4.00.13.01-3.rhel5 image=vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5xen

label=HP

#Corresponds to kernel 2.6.18-92.el5xen

initrd=HP-initrd-2.6.18-92.el5xen.img

read-only root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 append="-- rhgb quiet"

The default variable is changed to HP that corresponds to the Xen kernel and a new image stanza is inserted into the file. This new stanza is missing a line, which causes the server hang during reboot.

To avoid the system hangs during reboot, you must modify the file /etc/elilo.conf manually after the MPT Fusion driver is installed and before rebooting the server using the following steps:

1.Edit /etc/elilo.conf.

2.Add the following line immediately after the line, image=vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5xen in the label=HP stanza:

vmm=xen.gz-2.6.18-92.el5

The file should now look like:

prompt timeout=20 default=HP

#Corresponds to kernel 2.6.18-92.el5xen

#(previously, default=linux) relocatable

image=vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5xen vmm=xen.gz-2.6.18-92.el5 label=linux initrd=initrd-2.6.18-92.el5xen.img read-only root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 append="-- rhgb quiet"

#The following entry was added by Proliant HBA install script

#in package mptlinux-4.00.13.01-3.rhel5
