Rebuild the kernel with HighPoint Rocket support 45----------------------------------------------- 46 47 1) Install kernel source package and building tools. 48 49 2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree: 50 51 # cd /usr/src/sys/ 52 # tar xvzf /your/path/to/hptnr_freebsd_src_v1.0.1_14_08_19.tgz 53 54 3) Update the kernel configuration file to include the HighPoint source. 55 Assume the configure file is GENERIC, and new kernel configure file is 56 MYKERNEL: 57 58 # cd i386/conf (or amd64/conf for AMD64) 59 # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL 60 61 4) Edit MYKERNEL, and add the following line under "RAID controllers 62 interfaced to the SCSI subsystem": 63 64 device "hptnr" #HighPoint Rocket 65 66 5) For i386 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 and append the lines 67 shown below: 68 69 hptnr_lib.o optional hptnr \ 70 dependency "$S/dev/hptnr/i386-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \ 71 compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/hptnr/i386-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \ 72 no-implicit-rule 73 74 dev/hptnr/os_bsd.c optional hptnr 75 dev/hptnr/osm_bsd.c optional hptnr 76 dev/hptnr/hptnr_config.c optional hptnr 77 78 For amd64 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.amd64 and append the lines 79 shown below: 80 81 hptnr_lib.o optional hptnr \ 82 dependency "$S/dev/hptnr/amd64-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \ 83 compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/hptnr/amd64-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \ 84 no-implicit-rule 85 86 dev/hptnr/os_bsd.c optional hptnr 87 dev/hptnr/osm_bsd.c optional hptnr 88 dev/hptnr/hptnr_config.c optional hptnr 89 90 6) Rebuild and install the kernel: 91 92 a) for FreeBSD 5.x-i386/6.x-i386/7.x-i386/8.x-i386/9.x-i386: 93 94 # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ 95 # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL 96 # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/ 97 # make depend 98 # make 99 # make install 100 101 b) for FreeBSD 5.x-amd64/6.x-amd64/7.x-amd64/8.x-amd64/9.x-amd64: 102 103 # cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/ 104 # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL 105 # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/ 106 # make depend 107 # make 108 # make install 109 110 c) for FreeBSD 4.x: 111 112 # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ 113 # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL 114 # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL/ 115 # make depend 116 # make 117 # make install 118 119 If the driver was previously configured as an auto-loaded module by 120 /boot/defaults/loader.conf, please remove the entry hptnr_load="YES" 121 from loader.conf to prevent the driver from being loaded twice. 122 123 7) Reboot from the new kernel. 124 125 1263. Build/Load the driver as a kernel module 127------------------------------------------------ 128 129 1) Install kernel source package and building tools. 130 131 2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree: 132 133 # cd /usr/src/sys/ 134 # tar xvzf /your/path/to/hptnr-freebsd-src-v1.0-111213.tgz 135 136 137 4) Build the driver module: 138 139 # cd modules/hptnr 140 # make 141 142 5) Copy the driver module to the kernel module directory 143 144 For FreeBSD 4.x: 145 146 # cp hptnr.ko /modules/ 147 148 For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x: 149 150 # cp hptnr.ko /boot/kernel/ 151 152 6) Reboot and load the driver under loader prompt. e.g: 153 154 BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 155 Console: internal video/keyboard 156 BIOS driver A: is disk0 157 BIOS driver C: is disk2 158 BIOS 636kB/74512kB available memory 159 160 FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8 161 (mailto:jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com, Sat Apr 21 08:46:19 GMT 2001) 162 Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf 163 /kernel text=0x24f1db data=0x3007ec+0x2062c - 164 165 Hit [Enter] to boot immediagely, or any other key for command prompt. 166 Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds 167 168 <-- press SPACE key here 169 Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. 170 ok load hptnr 171 /modules/hptnr.ko text=0xf571 data=0x2c8+0x254 172 ok boot 173 174 For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x, you can select 6 on the boot menu to get a loader 175 prompt. 176 177 7) You can add a below line into /boot/defaults/loader.conf to load the 178 driver automatically: 179 180 hptnr_load="YES" 181 182 Please refer to the installation guide in HighPoint FreeBSD driver release 183 package for more information. 184 185 186############################################################################# 187Technical support and service 188 189 If you have questions about installing or using your HighPoint product, 190 check the user's guide or readme file first, and you will find answers to 191 most of your questions here.
