Original ramdisk image /boot/initrd-2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp.img saved as

/boot/initrd-2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp.img.elx

Creating ramdisk ..

The ramdisk for this kernel has been updated.

• Depending upon your distribution, use one of the following

instruction sets when manually creating a new ramdisk.

– For Red Hat distributions, use:

cd /boot

mkinitrd -v initrd-

.img

where

is the currently running v2.4.x kernel version.

Example:

cd /boot

cp initrd-2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp.img initrd-2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp.img.orig

mkinitrd –v initrd-2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp.img 2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp

– For SuSE distributions use:

cd /boot

mkinitrd –k vmlinuz-$1 –i initrd-$1

Example:

cd /boot

cp initrd-2.4.21-266 initrd-2.4.21-266.orig

mkinitrd –k vmlinuz-2.4.21-266 –i initrd-2.4.21-266

9. Reboot the host.

What next? Proceed to “Additional Notes” on page 147.

Editing /etc/modules.conf

Instead of editing /usr/src/lpfc/lpfc.conf to compile the

persistent binding parameters into the driver, you may use the

options parameter in

/etc/modules.conf to specify those settings:

1. Obtain the initiator and target information for each adapter in the

system as instructed under “Obtaining initiator and target

information” on page 111.

2. Change to the appropriate directory and append the persistent

binding information to the bottom of the

modules.conf file:

cd /etc

vi modules.conf
