Rebuild the kernel with RR18xx support 58-------------------------------------------- 59 60 1) Install kernel source package and building tools. 61 62 2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree: 63 64 # cd /usr/src/sys/ 65 # tar xvzf /your/path/to/rr18xx-opensource-v1.12-bsd.tgz 66 67 3) Update the kernel configuration file to include the HighPoint source. 68 Assume the configure file is GENERIC, and new kernel configure file is 69 MYKERNEL: 70 71 # cd i386/conf (or amd64/conf for AMD64) 72 # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL 73 74 4) Edit MYKERNEL, and add the following line under "RAID controllers 75 interfaced to the SCSI subsystem": 76 77 device hptmv #HighPoint RocketRAID 18xx 78 79 5) For i386 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 and append the lines 80 shown below: 81 82 hptmvraid.o optional hptmv \ 83 dependency "$S/dev/hptmv/i386-elf.raid.o.uu" \ 84 compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/hptmv/i386-elf.raid.o.uu" \ 85 no-implicit-rule 86 87 dev/hptmv/gui_lib.c optional hptmv 88 dev/hptmv/hptproc.c optional hptmv 89 dev/hptmv/ioctl.c optional hptmv 90 dev/hptmv/entry.c optional hptmv 91 dev/hptmv/mv.c optional hptmv 92 93 For amd64 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.amd64 and append the lines 94 shown below: 95 96 hptmvraid.o optional hptmv \ 97 dependency "$S/dev/hptmv/amd64-elf.raid.o.uu" \ 98 compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/hptmv/amd64-elf.raid.o.uu" \ 99 no-implicit-rule 100 101 dev/hptmv/gui_lib.c optional hptmv 102 dev/hptmv/hptproc.c optional hptmv 103 dev/hptmv/ioctl.c optional hptmv 104 dev/hptmv/entry.c optional hptmv 105 dev/hptmv/mv.c optional hptmv 106 107 Note FreeBSD 5.3/5.4/6.x/7.x i386 already have a built-in RR18xx driver, 108 you should replace the old configuration lines with the lines listed above. 109 110 111 6) Rebuild and install the kernel: 112 113 a) for FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x i386: 114 115 # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ 116 # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL 117 # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/ 118 # make depend 119 # make 120 # make install 121 122 b) for FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x amd64: 123 124 # cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/ 125 # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL 126 # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/ 127 # make depend 128 # make 129 # make install 130 131 c) for FreeBSD 4.x: 132 133 # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ 134 # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL 135 # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL/ 136 # make depend 137 # make 138 # make install 139 140 If the driver was previously configured as an auto-loaded module by 141 /boot/defaults/loader.conf, please remove the entry hptmv_load="YES" 142 from loader.conf to prevent the driver from being loaded twice. 143 144 7) Reboot from the new kernel. 145 146 1473. Build/Load the driver as a kernel module 148------------------------------------------------ 149 150 1) Install kernel source package and building tools. 151 152 2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree: 153 154 # cd /usr/src/sys/ 155 # tar xvzf /your/path/to/rr18xx-opensource-v1.12-bsd.tgz 156 157 158 4) Build the driver module: 159 160 # cd modules/hptmv 161 # make 162 163 5) Copy the driver module to the kernel module directory 164 165 For FreeBSD 4.x: 166 167 # cp hptmv.ko /modules/ 168 169 For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x: 170 171 # cp hptmv.ko /boot/kernel/ 172 173 6) Reboot and load the driver under loader prompt. e.g: 174 175 BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 176 Console: internal video/keyboard 177 BIOS driver A: is disk0 178 BIOS driver C: is disk2 179 BIOS 636kB/74512kB available memory 180 181 FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8 182 (mailto:jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com, Sat Apr 21 08:46:19 GMT 2001) 183 Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf 184 /kernel text=0x24f1db data=0x3007ec+0x2062c - 185 186 Hit [Enter] to boot immediagely, or any other key for command prompt. 187 Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds�� 188 189 <-- press SPACE key here 190 Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. 191 ok load hptmv 192 /modules/hptmv.ko text=0xf571 data=0x2c8+0x254 193 ok boot 194 195 For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x, you can select 6 on the boot menu to get a loader prompt. 196 197 7) You can add a below line into /boot/defaults/loader.conf to load the 198 driver automatically: 199 200 hptmv_load="YES" 201 202 Please refer to the installation guide in HighPoint FreeBSD driver release 203 package for more information. 204 205 206############################################################################# 207Technical support and service 208 209 If you have questions about installing or using your HighPoint product, 210 check the user's guide or readme file first, and you will find answers to 211 most of your questions here.
