Next, continue with the kernel patch instructions in the next section.
3.5.3.4 Kernel Patch Instructions
The mptlinux host drivers may require a small set of patches to your
Linux kernel source tree. Patch sets for stock and well known kernel
versions have been included with the packed source tar archive. Patches
may be required even if the
mptlinux driver is currently bundled.
See the driver readme files for more information about which kernel
patches are available.
To identify which kernel version you have, examine the
/usr/src/linux/Makefile as follows:
Example (on a RedHat 6.2 system):
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 2
SUBLEVEL = 14
EXTRAVERSION = -5.0
Then apply the closest patch set you can find.
3.5.4 Configuring and Building the Fusion-MPT Linux Drivers
The following examples show how to configure and build the LSI
Fusion-MPT driver(s) as kernel modules. However, the MPT base and
ScsiHost drivers can alternatively be compiled into the Linux kernel
instead of being built as modules.
1. From the /usr/src/linux directory , ensure a clean kernel source
tree by executing the following command:
# make mrproper
2. From the /usr/src/linux directory, run the normal kernel
configuration routine:
# make oldconfig
or:
# make config
or:
