Linux(Fedora,Red Hat,SuSE) Driver Support

Driver modules for all supported kernel versions will be extracted. You can find the

driver module for your running kernel under the directory that matches your kernel

version (/tmp/‘uname –r‘/rr26xx.ko)

Step 2 Test the Driver Module

You can test out the module to ensure that it works for your system by changing

working directory to the location where rr26xx.ko resides and typing in the command

“insmod rr26xx.ko”. If you are using a distribution with 2.4 kernel, driver file should

be rr26xx.o.

Sometimes insmod will report “unresolved symbols” when you attempt to load the

module. This can be caused by two ways:

1. You haven’t loaded the SCSI module before loading rr26xx.ko. Try to load SCSI

modules first.

E.g. # modprobe sd_mod

# insmod rr26xx.ko

2. You are using a kernel that is build off a different configuration with the driver. In

this case the precompiled drivers cannot be used. You can build a driver for your

kernel using OpenBuild package for RR26xx controller.

To ensure the module has been loaded successfully, you can check the driver status

by typing in the command “cat /proc/scsi/rr26xx/x”, where x is the filename you

found under /proc/scsi/rr26xx/. You should see the driver banner and a list of attached

drives. You can now access the drives as a SCSI device (the first device is /dev/sda,

then /dev/sdb, etc.).

Example:You have configured a RAID 0 array using 2 disks. It will be registered to

system as device /dev/sda. You can use “fdisk /dev/sda” to create a partition on it,

which will be /dev/sda1, and use “mkfs /dev/sda1” to setup a file system on the

partition. Then you can mount /dev/sda1 to somewhere to access it.

Step 3 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver

Most likely, you will not want to type in “insmod rr26xx.ko” each time you boot up

the system. Therefore you must install the module and tell the system about it. To
