442. Rebuild the kernel with HighPoint Rocket support
45-----------------------------------------------
46
47 1) Install kernel source package and building tools.
48
49 2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
50
51 # cd /usr/src/sys/
|
43 # tar xvzf /your/path/to/hptnr-freebsd-src-v1.0-130701.tgz
|
| 52 # tar xvzf /your/path/to/hptnr_freebsd_src_v1.0.1_14_08_19.tgz |
53
54 3) Update the kernel configuration file to include the HighPoint source.
55 Assume the configure file is GENERIC, and new kernel configure file is
56 MYKERNEL:
57
58 # cd i386/conf (or amd64/conf for AMD64)
59 # cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
60
61 4) Edit MYKERNEL, and add the following line under "RAID controllers
62 interfaced to the SCSI subsystem":
63
64 device "hptnr" #HighPoint Rocket
65
66 5) For i386 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 and append the lines
67 shown below:
68
69 hptnr_lib.o optional hptnr \
70 dependency "$S/dev/hptnr/i386-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \
71 compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/hptnr/i386-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \
72 no-implicit-rule
73
74 dev/hptnr/os_bsd.c optional hptnr
75 dev/hptnr/osm_bsd.c optional hptnr
76 dev/hptnr/hptnr_config.c optional hptnr
77
78 For amd64 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.amd64 and append the lines
79 shown below:
80
81 hptnr_lib.o optional hptnr \
82 dependency "$S/dev/hptnr/amd64-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \
83 compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/hptnr/amd64-elf.hptnr_lib.o.uu" \
84 no-implicit-rule
85
86 dev/hptnr/os_bsd.c optional hptnr
87 dev/hptnr/osm_bsd.c optional hptnr
88 dev/hptnr/hptnr_config.c optional hptnr
89
90 6) Rebuild and install the kernel:
91
92 a) for FreeBSD 5.x-i386/6.x-i386/7.x-i386/8.x-i386/9.x-i386:
93
94 # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
95 # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
96 # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
97 # make depend
98 # make
99 # make install
100
101 b) for FreeBSD 5.x-amd64/6.x-amd64/7.x-amd64/8.x-amd64/9.x-amd64:
102
103 # cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/
104 # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
105 # cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
106 # make depend
107 # make
108 # make install
109
110 c) for FreeBSD 4.x:
111
112 # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
113 # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
114 # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL/
115 # make depend
116 # make
117 # make install
118
119 If the driver was previously configured as an auto-loaded module by
120 /boot/defaults/loader.conf, please remove the entry hptnr_load="YES"
121 from loader.conf to prevent the driver from being loaded twice.
122
123 7) Reboot from the new kernel.
124
125
1263. Build/Load the driver as a kernel module
127------------------------------------------------
128
129 1) Install kernel source package and building tools.
130
131 2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
132
133 # cd /usr/src/sys/
134 # tar xvzf /your/path/to/hptnr-freebsd-src-v1.0-111213.tgz
135
136
137 4) Build the driver module:
138
139 # cd modules/hptnr
140 # make
141
142 5) Copy the driver module to the kernel module directory
143
144 For FreeBSD 4.x:
145
146 # cp hptnr.ko /modules/
147
148 For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x:
149
150 # cp hptnr.ko /boot/kernel/
151
152 6) Reboot and load the driver under loader prompt. e.g:
153
154 BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
155 Console: internal video/keyboard
156 BIOS driver A: is disk0
157 BIOS driver C: is disk2
158 BIOS 636kB/74512kB available memory
159

169 Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
170 ok load hptnr
171 /modules/hptnr.ko text=0xf571 data=0x2c8+0x254
172 ok boot
173
174 For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x, you can select 6 on the boot menu to get a loader
175 prompt.
176
177 7) You can add a below line into /boot/defaults/loader.conf to load the
178 driver automatically:
179
180 hptnr_load="YES"
181
182 Please refer to the installation guide in HighPoint FreeBSD driver release
183 package for more information.
