Updating the files from the CD-ROM after installing Linux

Before proceeding, you must have already installed a Linux distribution onto your system and have
previously patched the ServeRAID driver into your kernel.
1. Insert the IBM ServeRAID Support CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Type:
mount -t iso966 /dev/cdromdevicefile /mnt
where cdromdevicefile is the specific device file for the CD-ROM block device. Typically this is
/dev/cdrom.
3. Press Enter; then, type:
cd /usr/src/linux
cp /mnt/programs/linux/driver/ips.c drivers/scsi
cp /mnt/programs/linux/driver/ips.h drivers/scsi
4. Unmount the CD-ROM:
umount /mnt
5. Reconfigure and recompile your kernel.
Note: See the Linux Kernel-HOWTO for more information on configuring and recompiling your kernel.

2. Type:
mount -t msdos -o conv=auto /dev/diskettedevicefile /mnt
where diskettedevicefile is the specific device file for the diskette block device. Typically this is
/dev/fd0.
3. Press Enter; then, type:
cd /usr/src
patch -p < /mnt/linux/ips-patch
4. Unmount the diskette drive:
umount /mnt
5. Reconfigure and recompile your kernel.
