Linux
Because there are so many different versions and configurations of Linux, it is impossible
to provide one driver that will work for every configuration. Instead, this procedure uses
the source code from your Linux kernel to compile a driver that is specific to your setup.
You will create a one-time image file that will work with your current configuration. If
you change your Linux kernel, you will have to repeat this procedure again.
Before you begin this installation, you will need the following:
• The source code for the Linux kernel you are using
• The source code must be installed in /usr/src/linux
• The name of your Linux distribution (Slackware or Redhat)
• The Linux kernel version number
1. Use the “tar” command to install all the files on the diskette.
# cd /
# tar xvf /dev/fd0
# cd /etc/rayon
# ./Install
2. Configure the module by following the on-screen prompts:
a. Choose your Linux distribution type (Slackware or Redhat)
b. Choose your target card type (IOP3927 card)
c. Choose your Linux kernel version number
d. Exit and reboot with the new settings
Note: You can have up to 64 serial ports for each card you install, depending on the
number of INTEBOX8s you have installed.
