b) Carry out the patch, e.g. for Linux 2.0.36:
cd /usr/src/linux
zcat gdtp2036.gz | patch -p1 2>log_file
Thereafter check the file log_file for possible errors
c) Configure the Kernel / Enter the ICP Controller with:
cd /usr/src/linux
make config
d) Check dependencies / Compile Kernel:
see LINUX manual (e.g. make dep && make zlilo)
e) Reboot system
Update of a driver patch:
a) Copy the new patch to /usr/src/linux
b) Remove old patch with
zcat old_patch.gz | patch -p1 -R
rm drivers/scsi/gdth*
(gdth sources with versions older than 1.01 have to be removed with rm
manually. With newer versions this is no longer necessary.)
c) Carry out the patch
zcat new_patch.gz | patch -p1 2>log_file
d) Compile a new Kernel
e) Reboot the system
G.5 ICPCON – Configuration and Monitoring Tool
Detailed information on ICPCON can be found in a separate chapter of this User's Manual.
The ICP System CDROM includes two archives:
icpcon.tgz ICPCON and object files (intel)
icpcona.tgz ICPCON and object files (alpha)
These archives include all object files to create ICPCON, as well as an executable ICPCON
compiled on a current Linux version. If you encounter problems with this executable
ICPCON, you can easily compile a new ICPCON on your own Linux system:
unpack the tgz-file: tar xvfz icpcon.tgz'
compile ICPCON: make'
start ICPCON: './icpcon'
In order to be able to compile ICPCON you need the C-compiler and the Kernel sources on
your system. The link /usr/src/linux has to point to the Kernel sources which correspond
with the currently booted Kernel of your system. This is important for "signature.c" to use
the right magic for the communication with the driver. Otherwise it may happen that you
get "Wrong signature" when trying to start ICPCON.
ICPCON is loaded by entering:
icpcon ENTER
