AccelePort RAS and AccelePort Xp Installation in RedHat 7.2 and 7.3
AccelePort RAS and AccelePort Xp Installation in RedHat 7.2 and 7.3 AccelePort RAS and AccelePort Xp Installation in RedHat 7.2 and 7.3

Installation instructions for AccelePort RAS and AccelePort Xp product.

# script

Determine if "egcs" compilers are installed by typing:

# rpm -qa | grep egcs

Look for lines with "compat-egcs". If they are found, skip the next step. If not, install them by performing the following steps.

Locate the installation CD ROM labeled "RedHat Linux 7.#, Operating System, CD 2, Installation CD 2 of 2". Insert the CD into the CD ROM drive. Type:

# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Change into the directory where the "egcs" packages are located by typing:

# cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS

Install the "compat-glibc-6.2" package by typing:

# rpm -ivh compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm

Install the "compat-egcs-6.2" package by typing:

# rpm -ivh compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.16.i386.rpm

Verify your matching kernel source is installed:

# rpm -qa | grep kernel-source
# uname -r

The versions/extensions should match identically. If the kernel source is not installed, try locating and installing from the Red Hat media:

# rpm -ivh kernel-source-[matching-version].rpm

Unmount and remove the CD from the CD ROM drive by typing:

# cd /

# umount /mnt/cdrom

Create a symbolic link from your kernel source to /usr/src/linux by typing:

#  ln -s /usr/src/linux-[kernel_version]   /usr/src/linux 

Download the latest source rpm driver from our web site at:
http://supportold.digi.com/support/drivers/linux/index-ras.html

# cd /path_where_driver_image_is_located
# rpm --rebuild 4000####_X.src.rpm

Change to directory /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 and use rpm to install the new driver package by typing:

# cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
# rpm -i dgdm-1.##-1.i386.rpm

Load the module by typing:

# insmod dgdm
# /proc/dgdm/mknod
# chown uucp:uucp /dev/ttyG*

To add an mgetty entry for the first port to your inittab file (mgetty must be installed from your RedHat media):

#  echo "dg:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyG0_00 115200">>/etc/inittab

# init q

Set up your machine to have the drivers load automatically at boot time by typing:

# chkconfig --add dgdm

Completing the installation, press:

# [Ctrl] d

If any errors occur during this installation, please send the file named typescript located in the directory where you began this installation to Support Wizards for analysis.
