Installing SCO OpenServer v5.07 on an HP ML350 G5 server

Hi there

We are trying to install SCO OpenServer v5.07 on an HP ML350 G5 server.

I have downloaded the drivers from HP's website, but are getting nowhere. (I feel that I am going round in circles - every time I google for the drivers, I end up here.) Smilie

What happens is we create the driver disks successfully, and when sco boots, we type in the following bootstring :

Code:
defbootstr link=ciss

and also

Code:
defbootstr link=ciss hd=Sdsk Sdsk=ciss(0,0,0,0) Srom=wd(0,0,0)

Everything goes well, we are prompted to insert the stiffy with the driver, it loads the driver, and then tells us that there is a clash with the character major - we can either proceed with the new default of 9, or reinstall the driver.

The install program comes up, asks you for the keyboard layout, and the license number and license code. Then it terminates with the message that there is no root device. Smilie

Also, we have created the array with the HP array configuration utility, so there is a logical drive.

The driver we downloaded from HP's website is : HP ProLiant ML350 G5 Server series- Download drivers and software - HP Business Support Center

Your help and assistance will be appreciated.

Kind regards

Libs

clone(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual						  clone(7)

NAME
clone - opens a major and minor device pair on a STREAMS driver DESCRIPTION
The driver is a "pass through" device driver that allows other drivers to select unique minor device numbers on each In effect, the driver passes an open operation through to the other driver. This mechanism allows for multiple instantiations of a driver, each with a different minor number, through a single device file. When the driver is opened, it is passed a major and minor device number by the operating system. The major number is the driver's major number (72), and the minor number is the major number of the driver the user wishes to clone (referred to here as the target driver). The driver calls the open routine of the target driver with the flag which specifies a clone open. The target driver's open routine allocates an unused minor number. The target driver must use to make a new device number for the newly created device, and must set to the new device number returned by The new device number is returned to the open through The open then returns to the user a file descriptor that points to the new instantiation of the target driver. The driver is an example of a clonable driver. Notes It is not possible to do multiple opens of a device with the same major and minor number using the driver. This is because the driver is only given the major number of the driver to be cloned, and that driver will then select a minor number which has not been opened. When called with a pathname which corresponds to the clonable driver, will return different results than when it is called on a file descriptor returned from of the same clonable driver pathname. RETURN VALUES
If the driver is given an invalid minor number, or if the driver indicated is not a clonable driver, the fails and is set to [ENXIO]. SEE ALSO
