++ 3. Install RAID driver on an existing operating system           ++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
method 1:   	
	A. Go to the Liux driver source code folder and prepare for make acs_ame driver module

		# cd SourceCode/
		# make                                   ;acs_ame.ko will present	
		
	
	B. Install acs_ame module

		===Install module manually.

		You can use insmod to install Yano RAID driver acs_ame.ko manually

			# insmod ./acs_ame.ko

method 2:

  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
  $$   extract acs_ame.ko from dd.img                     $$
  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

   # mkdir /root/tmp                   
   # dd if=dd.img of=/dev/fd0
   # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
   # cp /mnt/modules.cgz /root/tmp
   # cd /root/tmp
   # gzip -cd modules.cgz|cpio -id 

   You can get acs_ame.ko from 'kernel' (EX. 2.6.18-53.el5)
   You can use insmod to install Yano RAID driver acs_ame.ko manually

   # insmod ./acs_ame.ko
   # copy acs_ame.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5/kernel/drivers/scsi/
   # make new initrd image

   An initrd image is needed for loading your SCSI module at boot time.
   So you need update your initrd image.....

   Insert and add this context description into /etc/modprobe.conf

   Example:
  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
  @       ......
  @   alias scsi_hostadapter acs_ame		<----add this entry
  @       ......
  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Build up a new initrd image. Assume your kernel version is 2.6.18-53.el5.

  # mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.el5.custom.img 2.6.18-53.el5

  insert and add this context description into /boot/grub/grub.conf

  Example:
  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
  @  ......
  @ title CentOS Linux (2.6.18-53.el5)
  @	root (hd0,0)
  @	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5 ro root=/dev/hda2		<----This depends on your root partition
  @	initrd /initrd-2.6.18-53.el5.img
  @
  @ title CentOS Linux (2.6.18-53.el5)custom			<----add this entry
  @	root (hd0,0)						<----add this entry
  @	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5 ro root=/dev/hda2		<----add this entry and it depends on your root partition
  @   initrd /initrd-2.6.18-53.el5.custom.img			<----add this entry
  @  ......
  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
