Now we support Linux kernel version : 2.6.27
	
How to make driver  for FastTrak & load it?

1.) Please ensure cc, the source compiler , version is above 3 by issuing Linux command :
    	# gcc -v
     If you do not install the compiler, you will not be able to built Promise driver. 
    
2.) Please ensure linux kernel source directory is "/usr/src/linux". 
	For SuSE EL9 platform, it always release its kernel source in /usr/src/linux-2.6.7-97.
		Please make a link to the appropriate directory, for example:
			# ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.7-97 /usr/src/linux
			
	For RHEL4 platform, it always release its kernel source in /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-5.EL.??? which ??? means various kernel images.

3.) Setup Kernel Compile Environment
	For SuSE EL9, SuSE 10:
    		# cd /usr/src/linux/
   		# make mrproper
   		# cp arch/$(ARCH)/defconfig.??? .config
   		# Execute 'make' for a while about 5 sec. and then stop its execution. (Avoid below  make menuconfig fail...)
    		# Execute 'make menuconfig' & exit with configuration save.
    		# Execute 'make' for a while about 10 sec. and then stop its execution.
    		
    	For RHEL4:
    		DO NOTHING.
    
    	[1].  $(ARCH) means architecture, which is i386 or x86_64.
    	[2]. ??? is options to make choose, default, smp and bigmem, depend on your booting image.
    	 
4.) Check /lib/modules/$(UTS_RELEASE)/build directy was linked properly to /usr/src/linux. 
     UTS_RELEASE is the current version of your booting image. You can get it by issuing Linux command :
    	 #uname -r

5.) Goto directory where the PROMISE driver source was located.

5.) Issue Linux command to make FastTrak driver: t3sas.o
	#make clean
    	#make or #make all

6.) Load PROMISE driver
	# modprobe -a sd_mod
	# insmod t8.ko or # insmod t8.o
	
7.) You can copy this module to /lib/modules/$(UTS_VERSION)/kernel/drivers/scsi/ for automatic load when boot system.
    
Note:
	1. Promise partial source can be adapted on kernel 2.6. 
	2. Different OS may has different kernel source location, please  do some modifications of above steps to fit their requirements.
