如何驱动Promise FastTrak Raid？

greenforce

ok  找到了.. CD1内有 BOOT版本的内核 RPM包

greenforce

老大..找到了...RH 9.0 CD1 下有 kernel-BOOT-2.4.20-8.i386.RPM
是不是只能在 RH9 下安装..还需老大.出马.


$ gzip –dc modules.cgz | cpio –idumv

解开 modules.cgz 后...怎么合并?
内有
2.4.18-14
2.4.18-14BOOT
2.4.18-3
2.4.18-3BOOT
目录  各自包含一个 FastTark.o 文件.
新得到的
2.4.20-3
2.4.20-3BOOT
如何加入 modules.cgz 中?

我朋友安装kernel-BOOT-2.4.20-8.i386.RPM不知道安装到哪去了?

我需要 9.0的 BOOT 内核.
所以他在 RH linux 9.0 下装了kernel-BOOT-2.4.20-8.i386.RPM
他可以从新驱动.进入 这个BOOT内核.
可这个内核装哪了?

需要指定 /usr/src/linux 目录.
ln -s /XXX/XXX/XXX  /usr/src/linux

这个RPM内核目录再哪?

beyond_2000

rpm -ql kernel-BOOT
就会列出安装包路径的。

不成...在同学的机器上搞不定..
安装了 BOOT并已经用他起动了内核.
uname -a  版本没错就是他..但.  /usr/src/linux 指向的还是原来内核..
也没有新内核让我链接...
所以编译出来的还是那个版本. 出不了BOOT 版本..
咳  就差一点了.

兄台，本想编出一个boot的驱动。可是因为本人技术不行。请兄弟理解。这两天找了好多的资料，无一成功。

请有经验的弟兄来帮助一下吧。多谢。

这两天苦了兄弟了.
...
感激不禁.
我也忙了半个月了.
虽然没有最终解决.但是
在老大的帮助下还是有一点收获的.
...我也是处于Win与Linux的过渡阶段.
平时几乎不用Windows了.
现在先慢慢熟悉系统.修改RH8.0

Steps for installing RH x.x
---------------------------

1. Create a Dos floppy and load ataraid.o and pdcraid.o (extract these
from the relevant kernel/module rpm packages for BOOT version. Use
rpm2cpio. Locate these BOOT rpm packages on CD# 3)

2. Get a kickstart file (look in / or /root on any redhat installation
after installation). Customize this by changing mount points (/ , /var
etc) to point to ataraid partitions (i.e. ataraid/d0p1 instead of hde1
etc.). Save this kickstart file onto the above floppy.

3. Delete any raid array on your new computer and boot it from CD#1 using
"linux noprobe". Now find your Appendline by looking at /proc/pci (switch
console by typing: SHIFT+ALT+F2). Now, reboot except this time you pass
Appendline i.e. "linux noprobe Appendline"

4. Make partitions on individual ide disks using fdisk. Reboot. Boot again
in CD#1 using "linux noprobe Appendline". Go into manual partitioning
using DRUID. Make sure you see all the partitions you made on both disks
and they are how you wanted. If not or if wrong, make changes in DRUID and
reboot.

5. Create raid array of your taste. Boot in CD#1 using "linux noprobe
Appendline"

6. BEFORE you access formatting screen, switch to console 2
(shift+alt+f2). At the prompt mount floppy and load your modules

mkdir /tmp/myfloppy
mount /dev/fd0 /tmp/myfloppy
cd /tmp/myfloppy
insmod ./ataraid.o
insmod ./pdcraid.o

7. Verify there are no errors (lsmod to see the modules loaded). Also
check /tmp/syslog (tail or less /tmp/syslog) and make sure ataraid
partitions are detected.

8. Now, while staying at this root prompt on console 2, install linux by
manually calling Anaconda with reference to Kickstart file on your floppy.
I dont remember the exact command, so try these:
anaconda kickstart=/tmp/myfloppy/ks.cfg method=cdrom
anaconda --kickstart /tmp/myfloppy/ks.cfg --method cdrom://mnt/....

Further Thoughts:
Create an Anaconda updates floppy to do all the grunt work and make it
work If you succeed, you can boot with "linux noprobe updates
appendline"

我的是Promise FastTrak 100的RAID卡,两块盘做了mirror,要在上面装Redhat8.0,可Redhat没带驱动,不知道在安装过程中怎么加驱动,请各位指点:p
