Chapter 3—Driver Installation - RedHat Linux

RedHat Linux 6.2/7.0 RPM Drivers for

ISI5634PCI-4/8 Server Cards

This installation procedure applies only to RedHat Linux versions 6.2 and 7.0. The standard ISI5634PCI Linux installation procedure (“Linux Driver for Multi-Tech ISI Server Cards (for PCI and ISA busses)”) can still be used for any Linux operating system of the correct kernel level (including RedHat Linux versions 6.2 and 7.0, if so desired). Note that RedHat Linux versions 6.2 and 7.0 both use the Linux 2.2 level kernel.

LINUX-RPM: Pre-Installation Issues

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-RPM: Copying the driver from the media

The RedHat Linux RPM drivers are on the ISI-Family Installation CD- ROM in separate directories, ServCard/Drivers/Linux/RPMS/70RPM for version 7.0 and ServCard/Drivers/Linux/RPMS/62RPM for version

6.2.In some cases, users may download RPM drivers from the MultiTech web site onto diskette (in ext2 format). We present instructions for both situations below.

LINUX-RPM: Copying 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

3.List the RPM files on the CD-ROM using this command: ls

LINUX-RPM: Copying the driver from a floppy

The ISI driver .rpm file can be copied from a DOS formatted floppy using the 'mcopy' command if the 'mtools' have been installed.
