This HowTo details how to configure DKMS to build and install your RocketRaid driver. This will allow your driver to automatically migrate between kernel updates without your intervention. DKMS is automatically called by the Ubuntu kernel install scripts.

Notice

Variations on these instructions will likely work with other RocketRaid (or even other hardware) drivers, but they've at least been tested with the rr62x and rr64x on Maverick 10.10, Natty 11.04, Oneiric 11.10, and Precise 12.04 LTS. In spite of this, this how-to may not be complete and require modifications particular to your setup. Feel free to add modifications in this wiki page. For clarifications on how to use DKMS, the Ubuntu help page and man dkms are always a good place to look.

Warning

As it stands, the instructions are a bit out of date. The latest stuff is at the end, so start there and work backwards. Ubuntu up to 13.10 is mentioned, and mostly 2.6 kernels. An attempt to make the detailed instructions work with a 640L card on Xubuntu 14.04 and kernel 3.13 failed in January 2015.

Prerequisites

Ubuntu 10.10, 11.04, 11.10, 12.04 (other versions may work as well)
DKMS
RocketRaid 620, 622, 640 or 644 RAID Card Cracked app for iphone 3gs free download.
Kernel Tools and Headers

Aside from the RAID Card, the standard Ubuntu installation should have everything you need, but just in case, the following should pull in anything you're missing:

Updated and simplified procedure for Ubuntu 13.04 or later

(Note for kernel 3.11 and later)

If you get errors about proc_info, your rocket raid driver needs even further patches.

If you are using rr62x, try using this beta source ( it worked for me - Thank You irish-link ): rr62x-linux-src-v1.3.3-130822-17639.tar.gz

If you are using a different driver, try these patches from camper2: rocketraid-linux-3.11-patch-r2.tar.bz2

This procedure will work for both RAID and JBOD configurations, and includes dkms and the latest RocketRaid 62x, 64x, 64xl drivers (thank you to the brave sysadmins who have preceded me on this page).

The drivers are listed here: http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/series_rr600-download.htm

RocketRaid 62x

RocketRaid 64x

RocketRaid 64xl

Now untar/unzip the files and enter the installation directory. (Path to the directory should not contain any spaces, it could lead to errors when building module.)

RocketRaid 62x

RocketRaid 64x

RocketRaid 64xl

Fix the source code. There are four files to edit, and one to add.

1) Edit: inc/linux/Makefile.def ( rr64xl: inc/linux_32mpa/Makefile.def )

Replace these two lines:

With these two lines:

2) Edit: osm/linux/osm_linux.h

Comment out (or delete) this line:

3 & 4) rr62x, rr64x only. Unnecessary for rr64xl

Edit: osm/linux/os_linux.c & osm/linux/osm_linux.c

For every kmap_atomic and kunmap_atomic comment out the second parameter. e.g.:

becomes:

5) Create dkms.conf in the root of your build, containing:

RocketRaid 62x

RocketRaid 64x

RocketRaid 64xl

Now build and install.

The following is for rr62x v1.2. If you are building one of the others, please substitute rr64x v1.1, or rr64xl v1.3 wherever you see rr62x or v1.2. ( Also note that the rr64xl module is named rr640l, not rr64xl as we would expect. )

You should get something like this:

Now go back to the root of your rr62x installation, to register dkms, and install the driver:

Your output should look something like this:

The last modprobe will hopefully cause all the attached drives to appear in your file manager.

Shortcut - DEB Packages for DKMS

If you use DKMS on your system, you can jump right to the nitty-gritty and install one of these packages, or follow the instructions below to roll your own as needed:

RocketRaid 620/622/640/644 (archive containing BOTH driver debs): rr6xx-drivers-precise.tar.gz
RocketRaid 2322/2320 (should work for releases up to 12.04): rr232x-dkms_1.10_all.deb

These packages have already been patched as necessary and make use of DKMS, which means the driver will be correctly recompiled whenever you update your kernel. Also, the deb packages contained in the tar.gz archive *SHOULD* work with all Ubuntu from 10.10 upward all the way to 12.04.

Note

One final change is that you should add a line to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules containing the name of the module (rr64x or rr62x).

These DEB packages haven't been modified to do that automatically. This helps the kernel to auto-load the module on boot, and put it in your initrd file to be available at that time. Otherwise, you may or may not be able to boot off of any disks attached to the controller(s).

Introduction

To use a module with DKMS, one places the module installation files (could be source code or binary) in /usr/src/<modulename>-<version>, along with a configuration file dkms.conf that tells DKMS how to build/configure the module and what its name is. Under more advanced scenarios, conditional build instructions and patching can be done by the dkms system, but in our case this is not necessary.

Setup

Fire up your favorite terminal and download the driver package you want to use. I use the 'legacy' non-RAID driver that forces all disks to be recognized as pass-thru devices for direct disk access, but the RAID driver works in exactly the same way. The following links may not be up-to-date, but they work well as of kernel 2.6.35, and 2.6.38 works with some modifications, below.

Now untar/unzip the files and enter the installation directory. (Path to the directory should not contain any spaces, it could lead to errors when building module.) Non-RAID:

Source modifications required in 11.04 (Natty), 11.10 (Oneiric) and 12.04 (Precise)

The linux kernel versions included in Natty, Oneiric and Precise includes some changes that break the rr62x/rr64x drivers referenced above, and as of this writing have not been updated. However, the changes required to the source code are fairly trivial. In fact, the changes are the same for the rr62x and rr26xx (below), with only the lines on which the offending code occurs changing between the versions.

If you are running Natty, Oneiric or Precise, make these changes in the osm/linux/ subdirectory ('+' and '-' preceding a line below indicates what is deleted and what is added to a file: do not include the '+' or '-' in the code).

* Fix the KERNEL_VER definition in inc/linux/Makefile.def

* Also in inc/linux/Makefile.def, add the KERNEL_VER check for the value 3.0 or 3.2

* Also in inc/linux/Makefile.def, fix the KERNEL_VER check for build configurations

* Remove the config.h include statement from osm_linux.h

* Fix :: I'm guessing this used to work, but not on 11.10, replace with the following (osm_linux.h)

* Modify the method call to blkdev_get to include a third parameter, NULL, in os_linux.c:

* Rename the hpt_queuecommand function to hpt_queuecommand_lck in osm_linux.c:

* Also in osm_linux.c, add a few lines before the hpt_reset function declaration:

* Fix install.sh to support 3.0 as a valid kernel version

* Fix patch.sh (at about line 146) as follows:

A patch for the non-RAID version 1.0 driver (rr62x-linuxla-src-v1.0) is included here (created using diff -Naur original patched > output.patch): rr62x-linuxla-src-v1.0-oneiric.patch . Download this file into your rr62x-linuxla-src-v1.0/ source directory and run:

Running this patch on the sources implements the changes above. Once these changes are done, you can proceed with installation as usual.

Another minor but critical fix

In 11.10 (at least) the 'asm' folder is missing from /lib/modules/*/build/include, before you can compile you need to do this;
