This errata supplies additions and corrections to SGI 1100 Server User's Guide (007-4337-001). It provides the following information, which is not covered in that guide:
Selecting the ATI Rage II XL graphics device during the installation of Red Hat 6.2, TurboLinux 6.0, or Suse 7.0.
Installing Red Hat 6.2 with Ethernet cables connected to the on-board Ethernet ports.
Using the Q-Logic 2200 FC card with Red Hat 6.2.
This section describes how to select the correct graphics device during the installation of the Red Hat 6.2, TurboLinux 6.0, or Suse 7.0 operating systems.
If you are installing Red Hat 6.2 or TurboLinux 6.0, you are prompted to select a graphics device. To select the correct graphics device, scroll through the list of graphics devices and select “ATI Rage 128 (Generic).” Then click OK and proceed with the installation.
If you are installing Suse 7.0, you will see that the “ATI Mach64” graphics device is selected by the installer. Do not install this device. Instead, de-select “ATI Mach64,” and then scroll to and select “ATI Rage 128 (Generic).” Then click OK and proceed with the installation.
Before installing Red Hat 6.2, ensure that only one of the two on-board Ethernet ports is connected to an Ethernet cable. Either one of the two Ethernet ports can be used.
 | Note: If both Ethernet ports have cables inserted during the installation of Red Hat 6.2, the installation will fail. |
If desired, you can configure the second Ethernet port after you have completed the installation of Red Hat 6.2 and after you have rebooted the system.
In order to use the Q-Logic 2200 FC card with the Red Hat 6.2 operating system, you need to install the QLA-2200 driver. Follow these steps to install the correct driver:
