How to disable auto-compilation
1. Change directory to /opt/hp/src/hp_qla2x00src.
2. Run the following command.
# ./set_parm -a
The script should then output that auto-compilation has been set to no. If the output says that it
has been set to yes, simply rerun the set_parm -a command again as the -a switch simply
toggles this functionality on and off.
NOTE:
When installing new kernels, in order for auto-compilation to work correctly, you must install the
kernel rpm first, followed by the kernel development environment for the same kernel (kernel-source
for SLES and kernel-devel for RHEL). Failure to do this will mean that the driver will not get
compiled for the new kernel.
NOTE:
In order for auto-compile to work in RHEL 4, you must install the Kernel RPMs in the following order
(perform steps 2 and3 if required).
1. kernel-<version>.<arch>.rpm
2. kernel-<smp/largesmp/hugemem>-<version>.<arch>.rpm
3. kernel-<smp/largesmp/hugemem>-devel-<version>.<arch>.rpm
4. kernel-devel-<version>.<arch>.rpm
