Debian Driver Installation
Installing the MegaRAID 92xx Driver on a Debian System that Boots from a System Drive
10.2 Installing the MegaRAID 92xx Driver on a Debian System that Boots from a
System Drive
Perform the following steps to install the MegaRAID 92xx driver on a Debian system that boots from a system drive.
1. Open a terminal, and then type the following command and press Enter.
# cp /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_sas.ko
/tmp
2. Insert the USB flash and mount your USB flash drive.
3. Type the following commands and then press Enter.
NOTE The system should detect the USB flash as:

scsi device /dev/sdb


To check for SCSI devices, type the following command:

dmesg | grep sd .
# mkdir /mnt2 /lsi
# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt2
# cp /mnt2/megaraid-6.18-deb6-2.6.32.tgz /lsi
# cd /lsi ; tar zxvf megaraid*
# cp 2.6.32-5-amd64/x86_64/megaraid_sas.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/
drivers/scsi/megaraid
# /sbin/depmod -a 2.6.32-5-amd64
# update-initramfs -u -v -k 2.6.32-5-amd64
4. Reboot your system.
10.3 Installing the Driver in a Debian 6.0 or Debian 7.0 System
You can install the device driver in a new Debian 6.0 and Debian 7.0 system from the .deb package, which contains
the executables, configuration files, libraries, and documentation in a Debian archive file.
Perform the procedures in this section if the Debian OS boots from a device that is not managed by a MegaRAID
controller, but in which the MegaRAID controller is or will be present on the system and used for managing
secondary storage.
For secondary storage, the driver must be added to the system; the driver is not in-box. The Debian 6.0 OS uses the
Debian file format for OS components, and LSI provides the MegaRAID driver in this file format.
See Section 5.1, Installing the Driver in a New Ubuntu Linux LTS OS , and follow the instructions to install the device
driver in a new Debian 6.0 or Debian 7.0 OS.
