    Problem installing Promise SATA300-TX4 Card

    hi all

    i am a bit new to fedora (and linux) and i want to install this card (Promise SATA300-TX4) to my pc. I am running F12 x86_64. I searched already in the forum but it doesnt really helped.

    I downloaded the driver and in the readme stands a list of the supported kernel versions:
    RedHat 7.2 kernel 2.4.7-10
    RedHat 7.3 kernel 2.4.18-3
    RedHat 8.0 kernel 2.4.18-14
    RedHat 9 kernel 2.4.20-8
    SuSE 7.3 kernel 2.4.10
    SuSE 8.0 kernel 2.4.18
    SuSE 8.1 kernel 2.4.19
    SuSE 8.2 kernel 2.4.20
    SuSE 9.0 kernel 2.4.21-99
    N/A kernel 2.4.x (kernel compiled by yourself)

    How can i look up if my kernel has the right version?. I think i have Version 2.6.31.5 (cat /proc/version).
    Now the installation:

    Building and Installation
    =========================


    <1. Get the latest Promise SATAII150/300 series linux driver tar file and move it to
    < the directory of your choice. For example, use: /usr/local/src/pdc-ulsata2

    -done

    <2. Untar/unzip the archive by entering the following command.

    < #tar xvfz pdc-ulsata2.tgz

    -i think i did this (just extracted it)

    <3. Change to the driver source directory.
    < For example, use: /usr/local/src/pdc-ulsata2

    < #cd /usr/local/src/pdc-ulsata2

    i copied the driver to .../src/

    <4. Compile SATAII150/300 linux driver.

    How?

    < compile driver source code and get `ulsata2.o'

    < #make

    5. Install the driver module.

    #cp -f ulsata2.o
    /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/drivers/scsi/ulsata2.o

    6. Load the driver module.

    #insmod ulsata2

    I dont know how to to 4. to 6. Has anyone experience with this card (already installed it) and is able to help me here?.

    thanks claus
