3.5.3 Preparing to Install the Fusion-MPT Linux Drivers
The mptlinux drivers are provided in binary and source form to provide
the greatest flexibility to LSI’s customers. The binaries are suitably
formatted for use as installation diskettes or post-install binary upgrades.
The source may be added to an existing kernel for custom kernel builds.
The binaries and source may be downloaded from the LSI web site:
http://www.lsi.com
They may also be downloaded from the anonymous ftp site:
ftp://ftp.lsil.com/HostAdapterDrivers/linux/Fusion-MPT
3.5.3.1 Installing to a Fusion-MPT Controller
The Fusion-MPT driver is a bundled boot controller for Red Hat releases
beginning with 7.3 and for SuSE releases beginning with 8.0. You may
install to a disk attached to the controller with no additional media.
LSI provides 1.44 Mbyte images that are suitably formatted to use as
driver update disks for installations where there is no bundled driver:
•
Red Hat 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 (32 bit and 64 bit), 7.3, and 2.1ASE
•
SuSE 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0
•
Caldera 3.1 and 3.1.1
Use these commands on the ftp site:

ftp> cd mptlinux-disks
