Installation / Configuration

I use this motherboard as a diskless MD.

You need to perform the installation completely with UI1. As soon as you setup the proper resolution for your use, you will see some very bad flickering on the display. There is nothing to worry about, just keep doing the installation with the bad image quality.

When you have finished the installation and passed the wizard, power off the MD.

Go to your DCERouter machine and download the 64bit driver (the 32 won't work) provided on Intel's support page and unzip the archive on the desktop.

Log on the DCERouter web administration console http://dcerouter and check which number was attributed to this media director. Mine was 34.

The two unzipped files need to be copied into the media director folder which is located in /usr/pluto/diskless/ so in my case /usr/pluto/diskless/34

Use the shell and log as root

Copy the files:

cp /home/linuxmce/Desktop/sis_drv_x86_64/sis_drv.* /usr/pluto/diskless/34/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

Go to the directory:

cd /usr/pluto/diskless/34/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/

Check the owner and permission on the 2 files:

ls -la

Change owner to root:

chown root:root sis_drv.*

Change permissions:

chmod 644 sis_drv.*

Edit sis_drv.la:

nano sis_drv.la

On the last line of this file there is a variable named libdir. The mobile orbiter directory need to be set here. In my case:

libdir='/usr/pluto/diskless/34/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers'

You can now power up again the MD and the flickering issue is solved.
