Installing the SCSI Miniport Driver

Building the Driver Into the Kernel

Once you have installed the source files, you can build the driver into the kernel.

1. Enter the following commands:

2. Edit the Makefile and the lpfc.conf.c files, if needed.

3. Enter the following command to change the directory to the Linux source:

4. Edit Rules.make and remove "$(sort and the matching closing parenthesis

5. Edit the Makefile under the drivers directory:

6. Add a check for $(CONFIG_SCSI_LPFC) to add scsi/lpfc to the directory

7. Add the following line:

# mkdir /usr/src/linus/scsi/lpfc

# find . -print | cpio -pdumv /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/lpfc

# cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/lpfc

# cp Makefile.kernel Makefile

# cd /usr/src/linux/

from this line:

subdir-list = $(sort $(patsubst %,_subdir_%,$(SUB_DIRS)))

The edited line should now display as follows:

subdir-list = $(patsubst %,_subdir_%,$(SUB_DIRS))

Note:

For some 2.4 based kernels, this will allow the scsi/lpfc Makefile to be

invoked BEFORE the scsi Makefile.

# cd /usr/src/linux/drivers

# vi Makefile

lists before $(CONFIG_SCSI) adds scsi to the directory lists. The scsi/lpfc

Makefile should be invoked BEFORE the scsi Makefile. Edit the following

lines:

subdir-$(CONFIG_IDE) += ide

subdir-$(CONFIG_SCSI) += scsi

subdir-$(CONFIG_SCSI_LPFC) += scsi/lpfc
