Hello,

Choose Install Additional Drivers/Apply driver updates from the initial menu.

Use:  http://dlc.openindiana.org/isos/151a7/oi-dev-151a7-text-x86.iso

Now if the kernel driver is already included and being pre-loaded conflicts 
with the OEM/ISV's newer driver being installed, you have to address this by 
the GRUB boot loader command:
-B disable-[driver name]=true (i.e. -B 
disable-[mpt_sas|mr_sas|ixgbe|bge|bnxe|etc...]=true) which will disable it in 
the kernel loading before the installation menu.

Also, if you have an older BIOS which 'partitions' lower/upper memory blocks 
which may confuse the installer during decompressing the bootloader, then 
usually update the BIOS beforehand.

The new Dell *20 (i.e. 320/420/520/620/720/820) and other third-party servers 
will work >=99.9% of the time with OI (or newer Illumos-based distros), if you 
follow these initial instructions.

Hope that helped,
~ Ken Mays

hello,

here what i found:
http://www.nexentastor.org/boards/1/topics/8033

but i don't know how to add it, if i am unable to install the OS onto 
the disks driver by the PERC card. I'll try to add the driver during the 
installation as soon as possible.
Or did anybody know the correct method?


thanks


gerard
