Chapter 3. Installation of Red Hat Linux 7.3 and IBM Director Agent 39
2. Create a temporary work directory for all the files and two directories for mounting images
by executing the commands:
mkdir /tmp/newboot
mkdir /mnt/loop0
mkdir /mnt/loop1
3. Copy the bootnet.img file from the images directory on Red Hat Linux CD1 to the work
directory just created, cp /mnt/cdrom/images/bootnet.img /tmp/newboot.
4. Change to the working directory, cd /tmp/newboot.
5. Mount this image using the loopback device using mount -o loop
/tmp/newboot/bootnet.img /mnt/loop0.
6. Copy the initrd.img file to the work directory and add .gz extension to the end by executing
cp /mnt/loop0/initrd.img ./initrd.img.gz.
7. Unzip initrd.img.gz by executing gunzip initrd.img.gz.
8. Mount this RAMdisk image using mount -o loop initrd.img /mnt/loop1.
9. Copy the module-info and pcitable files to the working directory by executing:
cp /mnt/loop1/modules/module-info
cp /mnt/loop1/modules/pcitable
10.Edit module-info and add the lines in Example 3-8 to the bottom.
Example 3-8 Lines added to module-info
bcm5700
eth
"Broadcom BCM5700 10/100/1000 Ethernet adapter"
line_speed "Line speed"
11.Save and close the file.
12.Edit the file pcitable and add the lines in Example 3-9 the bottom:
Example 3-9 Lines added to pcitable
0x14e4 0x1644 "bcm5700" "BROADCOM Corporation|NetXtreme BCM5700 Gigabit Ethernet"
0x14e4 0x1645 "bcm5700" "BROADCOM Corporation|NetXtreme BCM5701 Gigabit Ethernet"
0x14e4 0x1646 "bcm5700" "BROADCOM Corporation|NetXtreme BCM5702 Gigabit Ethernet"
0x14e4 0x1647 "bcm5700" "BROADCOM Corporation|NetXtreme BCM5703 Gigabit Ethernet"
0x14e4 0x164d "bcm5700" "BROADCOM Corporation|NetXtreme BCM5702FE Gigabit Ethernet"
0x14e4 0x16a6 "bcm5700" "BROADCOM Corporation|NetXtreme BCM5702X Gigabit Ethernet"
0x14e4 0x16a7 "bcm5700" "BROADCOM Corporation|NetXtreme BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet"
13.Save and close the file.
14.Copy these files over the original ones in the RAMdisk image by executing:
cp -f module-info /mnt/loop1/modules
cp -f pcitable /mnt/loop1/modules
15.Copy the modules.cgz file to the working directory and add the .gz extension to the end by
executing cp /mnt/loop1/modules/modules.cgz ./modules.cpio.gz.
16.Unzip the file using gunzip modules.cpio.gz.
17.Make a directory named 2.4.18-3BOOT using mkdir 2.4.18-3BOOT.
