This section will help you resolve some of the most common installation problems associated with Windows Server 2003. Tip #1. Windows Server 2003 Drivers Signatures Windows checks for digital signatures on driver files to help maintain system integrity. During the installation or update of a driver, if there is no matching signature file Windows displays a dialog box advising that the driver has not passed "Windows Logo Testing, the user then has the option to "Continue anyway" or "Stop Installation." To expedite release of new products, HP may ship drivers without signature files. All Windows drivers provided by Hewlett-Packard are submitted to Microsoft for certification testing. Upon completion of testing, Microsoft produces signature files. HP then posts the revised driver package at http://www.hp.com/. If a signature warning is displayed during installation of a driver, you may override the warning. We recommend that you check the HP Website for the latest driver package. If available, install the new driver. You can elect to have Windows ignore signatures: Click Start | Control Panel | System | Hardware | Driver Signing. This is helpful if you are setting up multiple systems. Digital signatures are a powerful way to ensure system integrity as you add drivers to your systems - whether provided by HP or others.

CAUTION: If installing to a Promise FastTrak100 TX2, these additional steps are required. Failure to follow these steps may result in the user unable to successfully boot to the Red Hat Linux 7.3 environment.
If installing to the Promise FastTrak100 TX2: 1. At the congratulations screen, after installation, press Ctrl-Alt-F2. 2. Enter the command: chroot /mnt/sysimage If using a Linux editor such vi, edit: /etc/lilo.conf, add the following: Disk=/dev/sdX (Where /dev/sdX is the location of your Promise boot drive)
Bios=0x80 Change: Boot=/dev/xxx To: Boot=/dev/sdX (Where /dev/sdX is the location of your Promise boot drive) 3. Change: Linear To: lba32 (Lowercase L) 4. To save, enter :wq 5. Run /sbin/lilo v
NOTE: This only works with LILO.

Confirm Installation 1. The installation program will summarize the HDD partitioning information, boot manager installation location as well as the size of software that will be installed. Review, and if this is acceptable, click Next to proceed. 2. Click Yes, install to proceed with the installation. Phase 3 Complete the Installation 1. When installation of SuSE Linux 7.3 is completed, you will have the option of selecting to have the system bootup in either text or graphical mode. HP recommends booting up into a graphical desktop environment. Click Next to test the GUI settings, if chosen.
CAUTION: If installing to a Promise FastTrak100 TX2, these additional steps are required. Failure to follow these additional steps may result in the user unable to successfully boot to the SuSE Linux 7.3 environment.
2. If booting to a Promise FastTrak100 TX2: a. Press Ctrl-Alt-F2. b. Using a Linux editor such as "vi, enter the command: vi /etc/lilo.conf c. Remove these two lines (if they exist): Disk=/dev/hda Bios=0x. (Could be 0x80 or 0x81, remove either one). d. Add these lines (if it does not exist): disk=/dev/sdX bios=0x80 (Where /dev/sdX is the location of your Promise boot drive.) 3. Return to the GUI Installation screen by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F7.
4. Click Finish Installation to proceed to the initial login screen. Remove the CD from the drive. You are now ready to enter into your new SuSE 7.3 Linux environment.
NOTE: If installing to the Promise FastTrak100 TX2 card, the system will not boot at this point, unless you perform the kernel update procedure below. The kernel must be updated in SuSe 7.3 from 2.4.10 to 2.4.16.
Phase 4 Post Installation Affairs Updating the SuSE 7.3 Kernel
NOTE: In networked environments, HP highly recommends updating the SuSE 7.3 kernel to 2.4.16.
1. Insert the media containing the updated 2.4.16 kernel (k_deflt-2.4.1637.i386.rpm) and drivers. If it is on CD-ROM, enter the command: mount /dev/cdrom 2. Use rpm Uvh k_deflt-2.4.16-37.i386.rpm to install the updated kernel. 3. If using a Promise FastTrak100 TX2, copy driver compiled for 2.4.16 kernel, FastTrak.o, to /lib/modules/2.4.16-4GB. 4. Edit /etc/rc.config and change INITRD_MODULES="" to INITRD_MODULES="FastTrak" (only if you're using a Promise FastTrak100 TX2). Substitute FastTrak for whatever boot device you are using (e.g., aic7xxx). 5. Run mk_initrd. 6. Edit /etc/lilo.conf, after the line image=/boot/vmlinuz add: initrd=/boot/initrd 7. Run lilo v.
