Installing the SCSI Miniport Driver
41 Host Bus Adapter for Windows and Linux Installation Guide
timeout=50
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-kernel_version
label=linux
root=/dev/sda8
initrd=/boot/initrd-kernel_version.imgread-only
4. Add the following lines to the end of the file to add a new boot record for the
driver:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-kernel_version
label=new_label
root=/dev/sda8
initrd=/boot/new_image_filenameread-only
append=”max_scsi_luns=128”
Note: Currently, lpfc is not supported as the root device, so keep the
“root=/dev/xxx” parameter the same.
5. Add the following line to get multiple LUN support:
append=”max_scsi_luns=LUNs”
Where LUNs is the number of LUNs per SCSI device. Adding this line is
optional.
6. Run these commands to build the boot image. The boot image
new_image_name must match the name specified in the /etc/lilo.conf file:
# rm -f /boot/new_image_filename
# /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/new_image_filename kernel_version
7. Run these commands to check and load the boot image:
# lilo -t -v
# lilo -v
8. Reboot the system to incorporate the new driver. At the shell prompt, enter the
following:
# sync
# reboot
9. As the system reboots, you are prompted with LILO boot. At this point enter
the name of the label of your boot image, new_label in the above example, or
just press enter and the default boot image will be loaded.
