This RPM will install binary drivers that will only work with the default Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 kernels, and the configurations that it has been built for. Earlier or later versions of Red Hat Linux are not supported. Special actions are required if you have modified the default kernel configuration that Red Hat ships for their Red Hat Linux product. If you have modified the default kernel configuration you will need to rebuild the kernel with the updated sources located in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES. This driver RPM will not install if the loopback device is not configured but the initrd image is requested since the loopback device is required to create the initrd image. INSTALLATION Login as the system administrator (root), download the RPM to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. To install the driver type: # rpm -Uvh --replacefiles mptlinux-2.05.16.02-14.rhel21.i686.rpm Setup is now complete. Please REBOOT your computer NOW!! NOTE: If the installation fails or if you see any warning or error messages, STOP, do NOT reboot the computer. The driver will not be operational and you must uninstall the driver by typing the following command: # rpm -e mptlinux-2.05.16.01-14 The removal of the RPM restores the original driver modules, and builds a new initrd image with the previous driver object modules (if any). The successful installation will replace the driver that shipped with Red Hat Linux with the version of the driver, create a new Initial RAM Disk Image (Which has the same name as the default images installed by Redhat). Backups of your previous files will be kept in the /tmp/mptlinux-redhat directory. The driver version can be verified by typing: # dmesg | grep "MPT" The driver will be inserted in the Initial RAM Disk Image (initrd) and is automatically loaded every time the server boots, provided it is listed in /etc/modules.conf, which, normally, it is. To load the module use the insmod command, type: # insmod mptbase NOTE: You will experience error messages if the MPT fusion controller is not installed. Please ensure that the hardware is installed properly. NOTE: If the hardware is properly installed and you experience error messages loading the modules, remove the entire RPM by typing: # rpm -e mptlinux-2.05.16.01-14 The removal of the RPM will restore the driver modules, and rebuild and initrd image for the running kernel. To check whether the driver is loaded properly, type: # lsmod Expect to see the module name mptbase displayed. If you attempt to install the RPM on an unsupported system, you will get an error message. The driver will not be operational and must be uninstalled by typing the following command: # rpm -e mptlinux-2.05.16.01-14 NOTES Feedback -------- To provide kernel/driver development feedback send email to iss_storagedev@hp.com Customer Service ---------------- For support, please send email to contact.hp@hp.com.
