For MDCs running Red Hat Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server you
must install the kernel source code as well as all tools required to compile
the kernel before installing SNFS. StorNext will not operate correctly if
the kernel source code is not installed.
The kernel source code can be installed using the installation disks for
your operating system.
