The purpose of this document is to explain the various steps to update from 
SLES10 to SLES10 SP1 a machine whose system is installed on disks connected 
on a Promise SuperTrak EX4350/8350 RAID adapter.

Pre-requisites
--------------
A machine installed with SLES10, with a Promise SuperTrak
EX4350/8350 RAID adapter.


Updating to SLES10 SP1
----------------------

1) Boot the system using the SLES10 SP1 DVD.
   
2) In the displayed boot menu, select the "Installation" item, without hitting 
   the <Enter> key. Very important : before pressing <Enter>, type the 
   following text on the keyboard : driverupdate=1
   (typed text is displayed in the "Boot options" field).
   Once text is typed, press the <Enter> key.

3) When prompted to choose the driver update medium, removes the
   SLES10 SP1 DVD from the DVD drive, and insert the CD containing the updated 
   drivers. Then, choose 'hda' in the devices list and press the <Enter> key.

4) When the dialog box "Driver Update ok" shows up, press the <Enter> key.

5) If everything went ok, the list of the detected disk partitions should
   be displayed.
   Choose "Back" in the "Please choose the driver update medium" dialog box.

6) When prompted to make sure the CD number 1 is in your drive, removes the 
   CD containing updated drivers from the DVD drive, and insert the
   SLES10 SP1 DVD which was removed previously, then hit the <Enter> key.

7) Once the graphical installer asks for a language, please choose the
   language you want to use, then click the <Next> button.

8) Then you have to accept the licence agreement, choose the correct option.

9) In the "Installation mode" step, choose the "Update" option, then click 
   the <Next> button.

10) A list of partitions which can be updated will be displayed (although
    usually only one partition is displayed) if it's not the case please choose
    the correct partition (the one containing the / of the system you want
    to update).

11) Continue the update process until the machine has rebooted.

Important note : Once the machine has rebooted, an error message stating that 
the graphical interface failed to start may appear. If this is the case,
just continue the update process using the text interface.
Once the update process is finished, the screen may blink 2 or 3 times, then 
showing another error message regarding the graphical display. Choose not to
check the output of the X server, and hit the <OK> button.
Now login as root, and run the 'sax2' command from the shell. 
'sax2' will reconfigure your graphical parameters, thus allowing the graphical 
interface to be started.
Once you quit 'sax2', just run the '/etc/init.d/xdm restart' command, and the 
graphical login screen will show up, meaning that the problem is fixed.
