-Installing:
------------

-You need to build a new kernel to use this device, even if you want to
-use a loadable module.
-
-Apply the patch to a 2.2.x kernel:
-
-# cd linux
-# patch -p1 <smart2.patch
-
-Then build a new kernel and turn on Compaq SMART2 Disk Array support.
-Create device nodes for the diskarray device:
-
-# mkdev.ida [ctlrs]
-
-Where ctlrs is the number of controllers you have (defaults to 1 if not
-specified).
EISA Controllers:
-----------------
If you want to use an EISA controller you'll have to supply some
-insmod/lilo parameters. If the driver is compiled into the kernel, must
-give it the controller's IO port address at boot time (it is no longer
+modprobe/lilo parameters. If the driver is compiled into the kernel, must
+give it the controller's IO port address at boot time (it is not
necessary to specify the IRQ). For example, if you had two SMART-2/E
controllers, in EISA slots 1 and 2 you'd give it a boot argument like
this:

If you were loading the driver as a module, you'd give load it like this:
- insmod cpqarray.o eisa=0x1000,0x2000
+ modprobe cpqarray eisa=0x1000,0x2000
You can use EISA and PCI adapters at the same time.
-Booting:
---------

-You'll need to use a modified lilo if you want to boot from a disk array.
-Its simply a version of lilo with some code added to tell it how to
-understand Compaq diskarray devices.
Device Naming:
--------------

-#!/bin/sh
-# Script to create device nodes for SMART array controllers
-# Usage:
-# mkdev.ida [num controllers] [num log volumes] [num partitions]
-#
-# With no arguments, the script assumes 1 controller, 16 logical volumes,
-# and 16 partitions/volume, which is adequate for most configurations.
-#
-# If you had 5 controllers and were planning on no more than 4 logical volumes
-# each, using a maximum of 8 partitions per volume, you could say:
-#
-# mkdev.ida 5 4 8
-#
-# Of course, this has no real benefit over "mkdev.ida 5" except that it
-# doesn't create so many device nodes in /dev/ida.
