3.5.3.3 Adding or Upgrading the Fusion-MPT Source to the Linux Kernel
Adding or upgrading the Fusion-MPT source to the Linux kernel is a two
step procedure:
1. Add or upgrade the Fusion-MPT source.
2. Patch the kernel.
Before you do this, LSI recommends that you save the original source:
# cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/message
# tar czvf fusion.orig.tar.gz fusion
Then continue with the following instructions.
For Red Hat 7.0, all 2.2 and 2.4.0 through 2.4.6 kernels, Fusion-MPT
support must be added to the kernel source. To do this, follow these
instructions:
1. Unpack the mptlinux driver source tar archive in a temporary
directory ( /home//mptlinux-tmp ). Example:
$ cd
$ mkdir mptlinux-tmp
$ cd mptlinux-tmp
$ zcat /tmp/mptlinux-2.05.06-src.tar.gz | tar xvf -
2. Run the install script to install the source to the kernel directory.
For example, use these commands to install the source into
/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-20 :
