3 - Installing RR4320 driver on an Existing System
Note: If you use a SCSI adapter to boot your system, you must make sure the
RR4320 controller BIOS will be loaded after that adapter's BIOS. If not, try to move
it to another PCI slot. Otherwise you may be unable to boot up your system.
Remove hptiop.ko module on Fedora 6 & 7 & 8
If you installed RR4320 controller, you must remove built-in module from system:
# rm –f /lib/modules/'uname –r'/kernel/drivers/scsi/hptiop.ko
# rmmod hptiop.ko
Step 1 Obtain the Driver Module
You can extract the module file from the file modules.cgz on the driver disk. Using the
following commands:
# mount /dev/fd0
# cd /tmp
# gzip –dc /mnt/floppy/modules.cgz | cpio –idumv
Driver modules for all supported kernel versions will be extracted. You can find the
driver module for your running kernel under the directory that matches your kernel
version.
Step 2 Test the Driver Module
You can test out the module to ensure that it works for your system by changing
working directory to the location where hptiop.o resides and typing in the command
"insmod hptiop.o". If you are using a distribution with 2.6 kernel it should be "insmod
hptiop.ko".
Sometimes insmod will report "unresolved symbols" when you attempt to load the
module. This can be caused by two ways:
