Enhancements: This RPM provides a customer friendly approach to install a pre-built binary drivers. Please read this section before proceeding. This RPM will install binary drivers that will only work with the default Red Hat Linux 7.1 kernel version and configuration that they have been built for. Earlier or later versions of Red Hat Linux are not supported. Do not use them if you have modified the default kernel configuration that Red Hat ships for their 7.1 product. If you have modified the default kernel configuration you will need to rebuild the kernel to use the updated drivers. For directions to patch the existing driver and rebuild your kernel please refer to the Red Hat documentation. The driver patches will be available in the /usr/src/COMPAQ/SOURCES/7.1_PATCHES directory. The RPM will not install if it detects that your configuration is different than the Red Hat 7.1 stock configuration. HOW TO USE: 1. Login as the system administrator (root), download the RPM to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. 2. To install the driver type: # rpm -ivh cpq_cpqarray_RedHat71-2.4.5-1.i386.rpm You can expect to see a message similar to: # rpm -ihv cpq_cpqarray_RedHat71-2.4.5-1.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] Now Updating your Compaq Driver Files... Making Copies of Files Into Your Kernel... 1:cpq_cpqarray_RedHat71 ########################################### [100%] i686 Update(s) Completed Successfully! Creating New Boot Image(s)... Boot Image Created... Modifying /etc/lilo.conf To Support Your New Image(s) Added linux Added linux-up Added cpq-rh71up Added cpq-rh71smp * 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 cpq_cpqarray_RedHat71 The removal of the RPM restores the original cpqarray.o module, and restores the initrd image and the /etc/lilo.conf file to their original state. The successful installation will replace the driver that shipped with Red Hat Linux 7.1 with the 2.4.5 version of the driver, create a new Initial RAM Disk Image (initrd) that contains the 2.4.5 version of the driver and modify /etc/lilo.conf to allow the Linux Loader (lilo) to boot the new ramdisk image. The installation of this RPM modifies the following files: /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf.save /boot/cpq-rh71up /boot/cpq-rh71smp if you have multiple processors installed in your server expect: /lib/modules/2.4.2-2smp/kernel/drivers/block/cpqarray.o if you have a single processor server expect: /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/block/cpqarray.o Backups of your previous files will be kept in /usr/src/COMPAQ/RESTORE. The driver version can be verified by typing: # strings /lib/modules/2.4.2/kernel/drivers/block/cpqarray.o | grep Compaq Expect output similar to: %s: Compaq %s Controller Compaq SMART2 Driver (v 2.4.5) 3. The driver will be inserted in the Initial RAM Disk Image (initrd) and is automatically loaded every time the server boots. 4. To load the module use the insmod command. Type: # insmod cpqarray Expect the following output if you have Symmetric Multi-Processing support enabled: Using /lib/modules/2.4.2-2smp/kernel/drivers/block/cpqarray.o Expect the following output if you have a single processor server: Using /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/drivers/block/cpqarray.o NOTE: You will experience error messages if the Smart Array controller is not installed. Please ensure that the hardware is installed properly. NOTE: If the hardware is properly installed and you observe error messages loading the modules, remove the entire RPM by typing: # rpm -e cpq_cpqarray_RedHat71 The removal of the RPM will restore the driver modules, the /etc/lilo.conf file and the ram disk image to its original state. 5. To check whether the driver is loaded properly, type # lsmod Expect to see the module name cpqarray displayed 6. 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 cpq_cpqarray_RedHat71 7. Uninstalling the driver: 1) Uninstall using RPM by typing # rpm -e cpq_cpqarray_RedHat71 Expect to see output similar to: # rpm -e cpq_cpqarray_RedHat71 Your Previous /etc/lilo.conf Has Been Saved As /etc/lilo.conf.save Added linux * Added linux-up The Package Is Now Uninstalled! Please Check /etc/lilo.conf To Make Sure All Information Is Correct! /lib/module/ /etc/lilo.conf /boot/ 8.
