Fusion MPT Package - Binary Images
====================================================
Binaries have been generated for use
with Red Hat Linux 7.2 for IA64 architecures.
These binaries may be used to upgrade a
driver without rebuilding the kernel or used
to upgrade the driver during install
====================================================
Upgrading the Driver During Installation
-----------------------------------------
Step 1: For the version of Red Hat of interest, uncompress
the tarball.
# tar xzvf redhat_ia64_bin-<driver version>.tar.gz
Step 2: Transfer the driver disk image to a diskette
using dd or raw-write.
# dd if=rh72_ia64.img of=/dev/fd0
Step 3: Boot EFI. Enter the EFI shell and search the mounted
file systems (fsXXX:) for the install CDROM (CDROM will
appear in the description).
Access the file system of interest. For example,
if the CDROM is on fs0, then
shell> fs0: <press enter>
fs:\>
will provide access to the CDROM. Then enter the
extended Linux loader by typing
fs0:\> elilo <press enter>
ELILO boot:
At the elilo prompt, pressing enter will result
in a normal installation. To use a driver diskette, type
ELILO boot: linux dd <press enter>
Step 4: Continue with normal installation.
Step 5: Once installation is complete and reboot is successful,
execute the post-installation script. Insert the
driver update disk into the ls120 drive, mount and
execute the post install script. If the ls120 is
drive hdc, then
# mount /dev/hdc
# cd /mnt/ls120.0
# ./post_install.scr
# umount /dev/hdc
Proceed with normal usage.
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.
