Building a Multiprocessor Version of the Driver
Perform the following steps to build an SMP version of the qla2x00 driver:
1. If the QLogic SMP module is required to load with the Red Hat SMP kernel,
it must be compiled with the same version number that was assigned to the
original SMP kernel built by Red Hat. This step is not required for Red Hat
Linux 7.0, 7.1, or 7.2.
For Red Hat Linux 6.2, in the /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h file,
change the following line:
# define UTS_RELEASE "2.2.14-5.0"
to
# define UTS_RELEASE "2.2.14-5.0smp"
2. Extract the kernel-header and kernel-source RPM files from the first Red
Hat CD-ROM.
# cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
# rpm -iv kernel-headers*.rpm
# rpm -iv kernel-source*.rpm
3. Change to the Linux source directory.
For Red Hat 6.2 and 7.0, type:
# cd /usr/src/linux
For Red Hat 7.1 and 7.2, type:
# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
4. Type the following command to access the Main Menu.
# make menuconfig
