To Access the Diagnostic Partition Under Red Hat Linux

1. Remove the Tools and Drivers DVD from the DVD drive.

2. Reboot the workstation and start the Red Hat Linux OS.

3. Log in as superuser.

4. To determine whether your diagnostic partition is configured to be mounted, type the following command:

   # ls /diagpart

   • If this command does not list the log files created by the hardware diagnostics software, then the OS was not configured to mount the diagnostic partition. Continue to Step 5.

   • If the command lists the log files created by the hardware diagnostics software, then the OS is configured to mount the diagnostic partition. All users have read access to this partition. Only the superuser has read/write access to this partition. You do not need to continue this procedure.

5. Insert the Tools and Drivers DVD into the DVD drive.

6. When the DVD mounts, open a terminal window.

7. Type the following command:

   # cd mountpoint/drivers/linux/linux_version

   where mountpoint is the DVD mountpoint

   where linux_version is the version of Linux that you installed. For example:

   # cd /mnt/cdrom/drivers/linux/red_hat

8. Type the following command to install the diagnostic partition:

   # ./install.sh

9. Press the Enter key.

   The following lines appear if the diagnostic partition is mounted successfully:
