3.1.3 You can test out the module to ensure that it works by the
following commands:
# insmod scsi_mod
# insmod sd_mod
# insmod iteraid.o
To ensure the modules have been loaded successfully, you can
check the driver status by using the "dmesg" command.
# dmesg
Then you will see the following messages.

in the following commands (first change directory to where the
proper iteraid.o can be loacted):
On Red Hat 7.3, use
# install -d /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/scsi
