Creating
an
update
CD
when
using
SLES8
If
you
are
using
the
SLES8
operating
system,
use
the
instructions
in
this
section
to
create
a
firmware
update
CD
from
the
ISO
image;
then,
see
the
readme.txt
file
in
the
root
directory
of
the
firmware
update
CD,
under
EFI.
Note:
Detailed
instructions
for

code-specific
subdirectory.
The
Linux
IDE
ATAPI
CD-ROM
device
driver
uses
SCSI
emulation
for
CD
read
and
write
operations.
If
a
boot
option
to
enable
IDE-SCSI
emulation
was
not
included
during
the
installation
process,
you
must
add
the
boot
option
to
the
elilo.conf
file.
In
most
cases,
the
IDE
DVD/CD-RW
drive
in
the
xSeries
455
server
is
the
first
IDE
device.
To
enable
the
IDE-SCSI
emulation,
add
the
following
boot
option
to
the
stanza
for
the
kernel
you
are
booting:
append="hda=ide-scsi"
For
example,
the
kernel
might
have
the
following
stanza:
image=/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=802
initrd=/initrd
append="console=ttyS0,115200n8,
console=tty0"
After
it
is
modified,
the
stanza
appears
as
follows:
image=/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=802
initrd=/initrd
append="console=ttyS0,115200n8,
console=tty0
hda=ide-scsi"
Restart
the
server.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
create
the
CD:
