Kernel Version must be 2.6 or higher | IronKey Enterprise specs

Please note the following important details for using your IronKey on Linux:

1. Kernel Version must be 2.6 or higher

If you compile your own kernel, you must include the following in it:

»DeviceDrivers->SCSIDeviceSupport-><*>SCSICDROMSupport

»DeviceDrivers-><*> Support for Host-side USB

»DeviceDrivers-><*> USB device filesystem

»DeviceDrivers-><*> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support

»DeviceDrivers-><*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support

»DeviceDrivers-><*> USB Mass Storage Support

The kernels that are included by default in most major distributions already have these features, so if you are using the default kernel that comes with a supported distribution you do not need to take any other action.

Also, on 64-bit linux systems the 32-bit libraries will have to be installed in order to run the ironkey program.

2. Mounting problems

Make sure you have permissions to mount external SCSI & USB devices

»Some distributions do not mount automatically and require the following command to

be run:

mount /dev/<name of the device> /media/<name of the mounted device>

»The name of the mounted device varies depending on the distribution.The names of the IronKey devices can be discovered by running:

ironkey --show

3. Permissions

You must have permissions to mount external/usb/flash devices

»You must have permissions to run executables off the IronKey CD-ROM in order to launch the IronKey Unlocker

»You may need root user permissions
