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.
