Chapter 3—Driver Installation - RedHat Linux
RedHat Linux 6.2/7.0 RPM Drivers for
ISI5634PCI-4/8 Server Cards
This installation procedure applies only to RedHat Linux versions 6.2
and 7.0. The standard ISI5634PCI Linux installation procedure
(Linux Driver for Multi-Tech ISI Server Cards (for PCI and ISA
busses)) can still be used for any Linux operating system of the
correct kernel level (including RedHat Linux versions 6.2 and 7.0, if so
desired). Note that RedHat Linux versions 6.2 and 7.0 both use the
Linux 2.2 level kernel.
LINUX-RPM: Pre-Installation Issues
The 'make' utility, GNU C compiler, and the kernel sources need to be
installed on your system. If any of these are missing, the compilation
will fail. Most later Linux OSs install these elements automatically .
LINUX-RPM: Copying the driver from the media
The RedHat Linux RPM drivers are on the ISI-Family Installation CD-
ROM in separate directories, ServCard/Drivers/Linux/RPMS/70RPM
for version 7.0 and ServCard/Drivers/Linux/RPMS/62RPM for version
6.2. In some cases, users may download RPM drivers from the
MultiTech web site onto diskette (in ext2 format). We present
instructions for both situations below.
LINUX-RPM: Copying the driver from CD-ROM
1. Mount the CD-ROM using this command:
mount -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
2. Change directory
cd /mnt/cdrom
3. List the RPM files on the CD-ROM using this command:
ls
LINUX-RPM: Copying the driver from a floppy
The ISI driver .rpm file can be copied from a DOS formatted floppy
using the 'mcopy' command if the 'mtools' have been installed.
