3 - Updating the Driver

1.

If the original driver is installed in the system’s initrd (Initial RAM Disk) file
(when using a system installed to RocketRAID 2340 controller, for example), the
driver module in the initrd file should be updated using the mkinitrd command
(or extract the initrd file and replace the driver module manually).

2.

If the original driver is installed in the /lib/modules/‘uname –r‘/kernel/drivers/
scsi/ directory, and loaded by the script file (Example /etc/init.d/hptdriver) during
the init process, or the configure file (Example /etc/modules.conf), please replace
it with the new driver (rr2340.ko).

4 - Uninstalling the Driver

To uninstall the RocketRAID 2340 driver

Note: The driver cannot be uninstalled while the system is booted from a disk or array
attached to the RocketRAID 2340.

To uninstall the driver, remove the lines added to /etc/fstab, and remove the files
created in the /etc/init.d directory.
