3.Installation Guide
====================
To install the driver, you should reconfigure and recompile your Linux 
kernel as follows:

Make sure your kernel version number is 2.6.8.

Copy sata_uli.c to /usr/src/linux-2.6.8/drivers/scsi/, and modify the
following file in this directory.

1.Kconfig.in
add the following lines to Config.in file.(refer to the Config.in file we provide to you)

config SCSI_SATA_ULI
	tristate "ULI SATA support"
	depends on SCSI_SATA && PCI
	help
	  This option enables support for ULI Serial ATA M5289.

	  If unsure, say N.

2.Makefile
add the following lines to Makefile.(refer to the Makefile we provide to you)

obj-$(CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_ULI)	+= libata.o sata_uli.o

Install as a kernel module
------------------------------------

  Step 1: 
        Change directory to /usr/src/linux-2.6.8
        Use the command "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig", and make 
        sure "ULI SATA support" is set as module.
	
	Example:	
	Select "Device Drivers"
        Select "SCSI Device Support"
        Select "SCSI low-level drivers"
	Select "Serial ATA(SATA) support" as "y"
        Select "ULi SATA support" as "m"

  Step 3:
	make
	make modules_install

        Change directory to /usr/src/linux-2.6.8
        Use the command "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig", and make 
        sure "ULi SATA support" is set as kernel.
	
	Example:	
	Select "Device Drivers"
        Select "SCSI Device Support"
        Select "SCSI low-level drivers"
	Select "Serial ATA(SATA) support" as "y"
        Select "ULi SATA support" as "y"
	
  Step 3:
	make
	cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

  Step 4:
	If you use grub to boot your linux, then
	  1) Modify the file /etc/grub.conf by adding
		title 2.6.8
		root (hd0,2)
		kernel /boot/bzImage ro root=/dev/hd1
		The disk partition where your linux resides in,
