3.5.1 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Appendix B: Install the SLES9 Operating System and Kernel 55

Now run the following command to patch the .config file:

# ./patch_config mxfs_patchlist /usr/src/linux/.config

NOTE:

Do not attempt to apply the 90_mxfs.patch file. This patch file

was already applied when you installed the MxFS-Linux

patches RPM earlier in this procedure.

4. Complete the kernel configuration and install the kernel. From the

/usr/src/linux directory, run the following commands:

# make oldconfig

# make bzImage

# make modules

# make modules_install

# make install

This step creates the ramdisk image and also modifies the default

grub or lilo configuration. If you are not using the default

configuration, update your configuration as necessary to ensure that

the right kernel is selected.

3. Build and Install the iscsi Modules

If you will be using an iSCSI configuration, you should now install and

build the iscsi kernel modules. Complete these steps:

1. Install the km_iscsi RPM (version 4.0.1) supplied with the SuSE media.

The RPM puts the source in /usr/src/kernel-modules/linux-iscsi-4.0.1/.

2. Build the iscsi kernel modules. Run the following command:

# make -C /usr/src/linux M=/usr/src/kernel-modules/linux-iscsi-

4.0.1 modules

make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.252'

Building modules, stage 2.
