First, obtain the new driver module "hptiop_00.ko". Refer to the previous section "Ob-
tain the Driver Module". In following steps, we assume it has been copied to "/tmp/
hptiop_00.ko".
Replace hptiop_00.ko in the boot RAM disk image, /boot/initrd-xxx.img (where xxx is the
kernel version).
Example:
# gzip -dc /boot/initrd-xxx.img > /tmp/initrd.ext2
# mkdir /mnt/initrd
# mount -o loop /tmp/initrd.ext2 /mnt/initrd
# cp /tmp/hptiop_00.ko /mnt/initrd/lib/hptiop_00.ko
# umount /mnt/initrd
# gzip -c /tmp/initrd.ext2 > /boot/initrd-xxx.img
If you are using lilo to boot the system, use "lilo" to reinstall the RAM disk:
# lilo
Update hptiop_00.ko in /lib/modules:
# cp /tmp/hptiop_00.ko /lib/modules/'uname –r'/kernel/drivers/scsi/hptiop_00.ko
Reboot your system to allow the new driver take effect.
