34
352. Rebuild the kernel with HighPoint Rocket support
36-----------------------------------------------
37
38 1) Install kernel source package and building tools.
39
40 2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
41
42 # cd /usr/src/sys/
43 # tar xvzf /your/path/to/hptnr-freebsd-src-v1.0-130701.tgz
44
45 3) Update the kernel configuration file to include the HighPoint source.
46 Assume the configure file is GENERIC, and new kernel configure file is
47 MYKERNEL:
48
49 # cd i386/conf (or amd64/conf for AMD64)
50 # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
51
52 4) Edit MYKERNEL, and add the following line under "RAID controllers
53 interfaced to the SCSI subsystem":
54
55 device "hptnr" #HighPoint Rocket
56
57 5) For i386 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 and append the lines
58 shown below:
59
60 hptnr_lib.o optional hptnr \
61 dependency "$S/dev/hptnr/i386-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \
62 compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/hptnr/i386-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \
63 no-implicit-rule
64
65 dev/hptnr/os_bsd.c optional hptnr
66 dev/hptnr/osm_bsd.c optional hptnr
67 dev/hptnr/hptnr_config.c optional hptnr
68
69 For amd64 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.amd64 and append the lines
70 shown below:
71
72 hptnr_lib.o optional hptnr \
73 dependency "$S/dev/hptnr/amd64-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \
74 compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/hptnr/amd64-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \
75 no-implicit-rule
76
77 dev/hptnr/os_bsd.c optional hptnr
78 dev/hptnr/osm_bsd.c optional hptnr
79 dev/hptnr/hptnr_config.c optional hptnr
80
81 6) Rebuild and install the kernel:
82
83 a) for FreeBSD 5.x-i386/6.x-i386/7.x-i386/8.x-i386/9.x-i386:
84
85 # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
86 # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
87 # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
88 # make depend
89 # make
90 # make install
91
92 b) for FreeBSD 5.x-amd64/6.x-amd64/7.x-amd64/8.x-amd64/9.x-amd64:
93
94 # cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/
95 # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
96 # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
97 # make depend
98 # make
99 # make install
100
101 c) for FreeBSD 4.x:
102
103 # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
104 # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
105 # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL/
106 # make depend
107 # make
108 # make install
109
110 If the driver was previously configured as an auto-loaded module by
111 /boot/defaults/loader.conf, please remove the entry hptnr_load="YES"
112 from loader.conf to prevent the driver from being loaded twice.
113
114 7) Reboot from the new kernel.
115
116
1173. Build/Load the driver as a kernel module
118------------------------------------------------
119
120 1) Install kernel source package and building tools.
121
122 2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
123
124 # cd /usr/src/sys/
125 # tar xvzf /your/path/to/hptnr-freebsd-src-v1.0-111213.tgz
126
127
128 4) Build the driver module:
129
130 # cd modules/hptnr
131 # make
132
133 5) Copy the driver module to the kernel module directory
134
135 For FreeBSD 4.x:
136
137 # cp hptnr.ko /modules/
138
139 For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x:
140
141 # cp hptnr.ko /boot/kernel/
142
143 6) Reboot and load the driver under loader prompt. e.g:
144
145 BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
146 Console: internal video/keyboard
147 BIOS driver A: is disk0
148 BIOS driver C: is disk2
149 BIOS 636kB/74512kB available memory
150
151 FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8

154 /kernel text=0x24f1db data=0x3007ec+0x2062c -
155
156 Hit [Enter] to boot immediagely, or any other key for command prompt.

160 Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
161 ok load hptnr
162 /modules/hptnr.ko text=0xf571 data=0x2c8+0x254
163 ok boot
164
165 For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x, you can select 6 on the boot menu to get a loader
166 prompt.
167
168 7) You can add a below line into /boot/defaults/loader.conf to load the
169 driver automatically:
170
171 hptnr_load="YES"
172
173 Please refer to the installation guide in HighPoint FreeBSD driver release
174 package for more information.
