+2. Installation Instructions
+
+2.1. Installing Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 /
+ Enterprise Linux 3.0 with a SAS/SATA Host Adapter
+
+ 1) Install the SAS/SATA adapter and power on your
+ system.
+ 2) Boot from the Red Hat CDROM.
+ 3) At the boot menu, type 'linux dd' and press ENTER.
+ 4) Follow the on-screen prompts to insert the Adaptec
+ Red Hat driver disk.
+ 5) Proceed with the normal Red Hat installation steps.
+
+2.2. Installing SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, UnitedLinux
+ 1.0, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 with a SAS/SATA
+ Host Adapter
+
+ 1) Install the SAS/SATA adapter and power on your system.
+ 2) Boot from the SuSE CDROM.
+ 3) At the boot menu, press the ALT key to stop the boot.
+ For SLES 9, use F6 key instead ALT key.
+ 4) Press 'Enter' and follow the on-screen prompts to insert
+ the Adaptec SuSE driver disk.
+ 5) Proceed with the normal SuSE installation steps.
+
+2.3. Installing the Driver when Red Hat or SuSE is Already
+ Installed
+
+ 1) Download the Adaptec driver RPM file appropriate to
+ your version of Red Hat/SuSE.
+ 2) From a shell prompt, type: rpm -ivh <RPM file>
+ 3) Make sure to reboot the system by issuing the
+ command "shutdown -h now". After the system reboots,
+ the procedure is then done.
+
+2.3. Removing the Driver
+
+ Removing the Adaptec SAS/SATA driver is not presently supported.
+
+3. Command Line Options
+
+ WARNING: ALTERING OR ADDING THESE DRIVER PARAMETERS
+ INCORRECTLY CAN RENDER YOUR SYSTEM INOPERABLE.
+ USE THEM WITH CAUTION.
+
+ Module parameters for loadable modules are specified only
+ as the parameter name with optional '=' and value as
+ appropriate, such as:
+
+ modprobe adp94xx attach_HostRAID=1 cmd_per_lun=10
+
+ Module parameters for modules that are built into the kernel image
+ are specified on the kernel command line.
+
+ 2.6.x: The module name plus '.' plus parameter name, with
+ '=' and value if appropriate, such as:
+
+ adp94xx.attach_HostRAID=1 adp94xx.cmd_per_lun=10
+
+ 2.4.x: The module name plus '=', plus the parameters,
+ assignment is done by ':', parameters are period separated, such as:
+
+ adp94xx=attach_HostRAID:1.cmd_per_lun:10
+
+ The parameters are:
+
+ cmd_per_lun:<int>
+ Global tag depth for all targets on all ports.
+ This option sets the default tag depth for all
+ targets if they support tag-queueing.
+ Default Value: 32, range 1 to 64.
+
+ attach_HostRAID:<int>
+ Controls whether the driver should atttach to
+ HostRAID enabled controllers.
+ Default: 0, false, the driver would *not* attach to
+ RAID enabled controllers. To make the driver
+ attach to RAID controllers, turn this on by setting
+ it to 1.
+
+ debug_mask:<int>
+ Sets the debug mask for the driver. Must be compiled
+ with ASD_DEBUG macro defined for this to work. Default: 0.
+
+ To see complete list of parameters, try "modinfo -p <module>".
+
+4. Additional Notes
+
+4.1. Known/Unresolved or FYI Issues
+
+4.2. Third-Party Compatibility Issues
+
+ Adaptec only supports SAS and SATA hard drives running
+ the latest firmware available. Please check with your
+ hard drive manufacturer to ensure you have the latest
+ version.
+
+4.3. Operating System or Technology Limitations
+
+ * PCI Hot Plug is untested, use at your own risk!
+
+ * Sparse LUN space may not be automatically probed.
+ This is a limitation of some kernels. Contact your
+ OS vendor for support on this.
+
+ * Using the Driver Update Disk version of this package
+ during OS installation under Red Hat might result in
+ two versions of this driver being installed into the
+ system module directory. This might cause problems
+ with the /sbin/mkinitrd program and/or other RPM
+ packages that try to install system modules. The
+ best way to correct this once the system is running
+ is to install the latest RPM package version of this
+ driver, available from http://www.adaptec.com/.
