ISI5634PCI/4/8 Quick Start Guide

Linux Driver for ISI5634PCI-4/8

This is the standard installation procedure for Linux and is applicable to all Linux operating systems of the correct kernel level (2.0, 2.2, or 2.4). The next major section of this manual, RedHat Linux 6.2/7.0 RPM Drivers for ISI Server Cards (PCI bus only), is an alternative installation procedure applicable only to RedHat Linux 6.2 and 7.0 using the RedHat Package Management System (RPM). Note that RedHat Linux versions 6.2 and 7.0 both use the Linux 2.2 kernel and the applicable ISI driver can be installed using this standard installation procedure, as well.

LINUX: Pre-Installation Issues

When unpacking the Linux driver, there are two choices, one driver for the 2.0.x kernel (at this writing, it is filename L300_20X.TAR), and one driver that works for both the 2.2.x kernel and the 2.4.x kernel, (at this writing, it is filename L305_22X_24X.TAR). Be absolutely positive about which kernel you have! Note that updated driver files may be issued from time to time.

The 'make' utility, GNU C compiler, and the kernel sources need to be installed on your system. If any of these are missing, the compilation will fail. Most later Linux OSs install these elements automatically .

LINUX: Copying the driver from the media

The Linux drivers (2.0 and 2.2/2.4 kernel) are shipped in compressed (‘tarred’) form on the ISI Family CD-ROM formatted with the FAT file system. In some cases, users may download Linux ISI drivers from the MultiTech web site onto diskette (in ext2 format). We present instructions for both situations below.

LINUX: Copying and untarring the driver from CD-ROM

1.Mount the CD-ROM using this command: mount -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

2.Change directory

cd /mnt/cdrom
