2. Rebuild the kernel with HighPoint RocketRAID support
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Install kernel source package and building tools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/src/sys/
|
|
|
|
|
# tar xvzf /your/path/to/hpt27xx-freebsd-src-v1.0-111227.tgz
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) Update the kernel configuration file to include the HighPoint source.
|
|
|
|
|
Assume the configure file is GENERIC, and new kernel configure file is
|
|
|
|
|
MYKERNEL:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cd i386/conf (or amd64/conf for AMD64)
|
|
|
|
|
# cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) Edit MYKERNEL, and add the following line under "RAID controllers
|
|
|
|
|
interfaced to the SCSI subsystem":
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
device "hpt27xx" #HighPoint RocketRAID
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5) For i386 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.i386 and append the lines
|
|
|
|
|
shown below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hpt27xx_lib.o optional hpt27xx \
|
|
|
|
|
dependency "$S/dev/hpt27xx/i386-elf.hpt27xx_lib.o.uu" \
|
|
|
|
|
compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/hpt27xx/i386-elf.hpt27xx_lib.o.uu" \
|
|
|
|
|
no-implicit-rule
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dev/hpt27xx/os_bsd.c optional hpt27xx
|
|
|
|
|
dev/hpt27xx/osm_bsd.c optional hpt27xx
|
|
|
|
|
dev/hpt27xx/hpt27xx_config.c optional hpt27xx
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For amd64 system, edit /usr/src/sys/conf/files.amd64 and append the lines
|
|
|
|
|
shown below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hpt27xx_lib.o optional hpt27xx \
|
|
|
|
|
dependency "$S/dev/hpt27xx/amd64-elf.hpt27xx_lib.o.uu" \
|
|
|
|
|
compile-with "uudecode < $S/dev/hpt27xx/amd64-elf.hpt27xx_lib.o.uu" \
|
|
|
|
|
no-implicit-rule
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dev/hpt27xx/os_bsd.c optional hpt27xx
|
|
|
|
|
dev/hpt27xx/osm_bsd.c optional hpt27xx
|
|
|
|
|
dev/hpt27xx/hpt27xx_config.c optional hpt27xx
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6) Rebuild and install the kernel:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) for FreeBSD 5.x-i386/6.x-i386/7.x-i386/8.x-i386/9.x-i386:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
|
|
|
|
|
# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
|
|
|
|
|
# cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
|
|
|
|
|
# make depend
|
|
|
|
|
# make
|
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) for FreeBSD 5.x-amd64/6.x-amd64/7.x-amd64/8.x-amd64/9.x-amd64:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/
|
|
|
|
|
# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
|
|
|
|
|
# cd ../compile/MYKERNEL/
|
|
|
|
|
# make depend
|
|
|
|
|
# make
|
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
c) for FreeBSD 4.x:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
|
|
|
|
|
# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
|
|
|
|
|
# cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL/
|
|
|
|
|
# make depend
|
|
|
|
|
# make
|
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the driver was previously configured as an auto-loaded module by
|
|
|
|
|
/boot/defaults/loader.conf, please remove the entry hpt27xx_load="YES"
|
|
|
|
|
from loader.conf to prevent the driver from being loaded twice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7) Reboot from the new kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Build/Load the driver as a kernel module
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Install kernel source package and building tools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Extract the driver files under the kernel source tree:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/src/sys/
|
|
|
|
|
# tar xvzf /your/path/to/hpt27xx-freebsd-src-v1.0-111227.tgz
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) Build the driver module:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cd modules/hpt27xx
|
|
|
|
|
# make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5) Copy the driver module to the kernel module directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For FreeBSD 4.x:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cp hpt27xx.ko /modules/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For FreeBSD 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.x:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# cp hpt27xx.ko /boot/kernel/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6) Reboot and load the driver under loader prompt. e.g:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
|
|
|
|
|
Console: internal video/keyboard
|
|
|
|
|
BIOS driver A: is disk0
|
|
|
|
|
BIOS driver C: is disk2
|
|
|
|
|
BIOS 636kB/74512kB available memory

|
|
|
|
|
ok boot
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7) You can add a below line into /boot/defaults/loader.conf to load the
|
|
|
|
|
driver automatically:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hpt27xx_load="YES"
