Linux Driver Support

kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinux root=/dev/hda1 acpi=off

initrd (hd0,1)/initrd

Then reboot the system to make new kernel parameter take effect.

Step 2 Install the Driver Module

The driver modules are packed in file /linux/suse /[arch]-[version]/install/update.tar.

gz on the driver diskette. The following example shows how to extract the driver

modules for SLES 9 from driver diskette:

# mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy

# cd /

# tar xfz /media/floppy/linux/suse/i386-sles9/install/update.tar.gz

The driver modules will be extracted to directory /lib/modules/[kernel-ver]/kernel/

drivers/scsi/

Step 3 Test the Driver Module

You can test out the module to ensure that it works for your system by typing in the

command “insmod hptmviop.ko”.

Sometimes insmod will report “unresolved symbols” when you attempt to load the

module. This can be caused by two ways:

1. The SCSI module is not loaded in kernel. Try to load SCSI modules first.

E.g. # modprobe sd_mod

# insmod hptmviop.ko

Example: You have configured a RAID 1/0 array using 4 disks. It will be registered to

system as device /dev/sda. You can use “fdisk /dev/sda” to create a partition on it,

which will be /dev/sda1, and use “mkfs /dev/sda1” to setup a file system on the

partition. Then you can mount /dev/sda1 to somewhere to access it.

Step 4 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver

Most likely, you will not want to type in “insmod hptmviop” each time you boot up

the system. You can add the driver to the initial RAM disk image to load the driver at

boot time:

1. Edit file /etc/sysconfig/kernel and add hptmviop module to the line
