HPT370/372/372A Red Hat Linux Installation Guide

controller, you must update the kernel to remove HPT366 IDE support from it first.

There are two ways to do this.

1. Building a new kernel from kernel source

To build a new kernel, you must have installed kernel source and related packages.

These packages are:

kernel-headers

kernel-source

make

binutils

glibc-devel

ncurses

ncurses-devel

cpp

gcc

You can find these packages (.rpm file) under directory RedHat/RPMS/ on Red Hat

Linux CD. You can use command " rpm – i" to install an .rpm file.

After all required packages are installed, follow these steps to build a new kernel:

1) Use the following command to add a link to the source directory:

for RedHat 7.1

# ln – s /usr/src/linux-2.4.2 /usr/src/linux

for RedHat 7.2

# ln – s /usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10 /usr/src/linux

2) Remove the following 2 lines from /usr/src/linux/drivers/ide/ide-pci.c:

3) If you are using RedHat 7.2 on Athlon type CPU, you need to check kernel type

setting every time before rebuilding new kernel. Using the commands below:

# cp /boot/kernel.h /boot/kerne.h.old

# sed 's/i686/athlon/g' /boot/kernel.h.old > /boot/kernel.h

4) Type in the following commands to configure the kernel:

# cd /usr/src/linux

# make clean

# make menuconfig

Now the kernel configuration dialog will appear. You can adjust the options

based on your running system' s hardware/software configuration. For most

options you can simply use the default setting except the following:

{DEVID_HPT34X, "HPT34X", PCI_HPT34X, NULL, ...

{DEVID_HPT366, "HPT366", PCI_HPT366, ATA66_HPT366, ...
