20 HP BIOS Serial Console User Guide

Linux Red Hat 7 ATA Driver Settings

By default, Linux Red Hat 7.1 OS uses only the ATA driver in PIO mode for the

server blades ATA controller. Use the following change to set the driver to use

DMA and higher speeds (66 MHz/100 MHz):

1. Add ide0=ata66 to the LILO append line described in step 2 in Linux

Red Hat 7 Serial Console Settings (on page 19

Append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0, 115200

ide0=ata66"

2. Run /sbin/lilo to make the changes take effect.

Linux Red Hat 7 NIC Driver Settings

By default, Linux Red Hat 7.1 OS uses the eepro100 driver. HP has tested the

Intel® e100 driver and recommends changing to this driver. To change the

default driver, change the lines eepro100 in /etc/modules.conf to e100.

For example, networking lines in modules.conf are:

alias eth0 e100

alias eth1 e100

This change takes effect at the next reboot.

Linux Red Hat 7 Services Configuration

Change the runlevel configuration of the following services (if installed) since

they are not needed on HP ProLiant BL e-Class server blades:

Chkconfig --level 0123456 apmd off

Chkconfig --level 0123456 gpm off

Terminal Emulation Programs

Console redirection is supported using many terminal emulation programs. Any

terminal emulation program can be used with BIOS Serial Console and with OS

console redirection.
