Driver Installation

Version 2.0

Mount the driver update diskette (DUD) using the following
command:

#mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

Unzip the modules.cgz file that is on the DUD to get driver images
for different Red Hat operating systems:

#mkdir -p /home/megasr

#cd /home/megasr

#cp /mnt/floppy/modules.cgz .

#gunizip -S .cgz modules.cgz

This generates a new file named modules:

#cpio -ivd < modules

This provides the following driver images:

{<kernel version>,<kernel version>smp,

<kernel version>BOOT }/megasr.o

Update the Megasr driver module for the required kernels using the
following commands:

#cd /home/megasr

If the /lib/modules/<kernel version>/update/ directory is
present, use the following command:

# cp <kernel version>/megasr.[o/ko]

/lib/modules/<kernel version>/update/megasr.[o/ko]

If the /lib/modules/<kernel version>/update/ directory is
not present, use the following command:

# cp <kernel version>/megasr.[o/ko]

/lib/modules/<kernel version>

/kernel/drivers/scsi/megasr.[o/ko]

Create a Megasr driver entry in the configuration file. The Red Hat
configuration file is /etc/modules.conf.

If the Megasr entry is not present in /etc/modules.conf, add the
following line:

alias scsi_hostadapter megasr

If the ahci SCSI driver entry (located on the following paragraph) is
present in /etc/modules.conf, remove it. It must be removed
because otherwise the ahci driver would take control of the RAID
