The source drivers of SCSI adapters
DC395U/Dc395UW/DC395F DC315/DC315U (TRM-S1040(D))
Notes: Other Tekram scsi cards are default supported by kernel,
What you need to do is just config them in when
make config. Here is the map between driver name and our
model.
390T -> support DC390(T)
SYM53C8XX -> support DC310/DC310U/DC390W/DC390U/DC390F
DC390U2B/DC390U2W/DC390U2D

Linux driver
bzImage - Tekram kernel with DC395x support for Slackware9.0,
will be used by Installer at step:
"Install linux kernel"
mod - Directory of scsi mid layer driver modules and DC395x
driver module, will be used by script preInstall to
add SCSI disks and CDROMs support before fdisk.
src - Source (kernel version 2.4.20) directory for
DC395U/DC395UW/DC395F DC315/DC315U
SCSI adapters
preInstall - Little script file used by user to add SCSI disks and
CDROMs which connected to DC395x support before fdisk.
2. SlackWare 9.0 Linux installation
A. Before Installation - Under DOS environment:
=>You need to create a driver diskette first
insert a blank 1.44MB disk into your floppy driver.
This step will uncompress the image file
C:\> winzip driver.zip
Write the image file into driver a(floppy driver)
C:\> rawrite driver.img A:
B. Installation
a. Boot from Slackware CD-ROM. Choose corresponding keymap and login as "root"
b. **Before** you are ready to "cfdisk" or "fdisk". Please make a mount point
#mkdir /trm
and mount the floppy to the new mount point
#mount /dev/fd0 /trm
c. Run script "preInstall" to insert the drivers
#/trm/preInstall
System will found the SCSI disks and CDROMs in your DC395x adapter.
Umount the floppy but keep the diskette in floopy driver.
#umount /trm
d. Now you can normally start installation from "cfdisk" or "fdisk" phase.
e. When the installing screen display " INSTALL LINUX KERNEL ".
- Select "floppy Install a zImage or bzImage file from a dos floppy"
- press "Enter" to continue installing.
c. Exit Slackware Linux Setup while the installation is completed
e. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot system
f. We *HIGHLY RECOMMEND* you to make a new kernel you own
3. Remake new kernel
Notes: We assume You have installed your Linux system by developmental environment
and include kernel source.
A. Prepare installtion
a. Insert driver disk into drive a:, mount it to directory. For example:
#mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
b. Copy file
#cp /mnt/floppy/src/*.* /usr/src/linux-2.4/drivers/scsi/
c. Uncompress the tar file
#tar xzvf /usr/src/linux-2.4/drivers/scsi/dc395x_trm.src.tar.gz
B. Modify make and config files
In /usr/src/linux-2.4/drivers/scsi/Makefile

# make dep
# make clean
# make bzImage
# make modules

# cp ./arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
D. Modify boot loader configuration files.
# ( edit the lilo.conf file under path /etc as follow...)
; Add an entry for "bzImage" in /etc/lilo.conf
; Example:
; ...
; # Linux bootable partition config begins
; image = /bzImage # <--- NEW
; root = /dev/sda1 # <--- NEW
; label = DC395x_trm # <--- NEW
; read-only # <--- NEW
;
; image = /vmlinuz
; root = /dev/sda1
; label = linux
; read-only
; # Linux bootable partition config ends
; ...
;
# lilo
# reboot ;reboot the system

Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
