Step 4 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver
Most likely, you will not want to type in "insmod hptiop" 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 hptiop module to the line
INITRD_MODULES=..., e.g:
INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs hptiop"
2. Run depmod to update module configuration:
# depmod
3. Run mkinitrd to update the initrd file:
# mkinitrd
4. If you are using lilo boot loader, run lilo again:
# lilo
Step 5 Configure System to Mount Volumes when Startup
Now you can inform the system to automatically mount the array by modifying the file
/etc/fstab. E.g. You can add the following line to tell the system to mount /dev/sda1 to
location /mnt/raid after startup:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/raid ext2 defaults 0 0
4 - Updating the Driver
To update the driver, simply reinstall the driver following the steps in previous
section, " Install RR4320 Driver on an Existing System ".
If the driver is loaded in initrd (e.g. when system is installed on the controller), you
need to run mkinitrd to update the initrd file. Also, if you are using lilo boot loader,
you need to run lilo again.
