Chapter 2 Installing drivers and host cards
Initial configuration under SCO UnixWare
Before installing any new software on your system it is important that the existing software is
correctly installed and configured.
The software supplied comprises various files plus a kernel module called a device driver
that has to be linked into the Unix kernel.
Before attempting to install the software, it is advisable to check that the kernel can be
rebuilt.
The steps to do this are:
1. Log in as root.
2. Change directory to /etc/conf/bin.
cd /etc/conf/bin
3. Run idbuild.
./idbuild
4. Reboot the machine.
sync
init 6
During the reboot, the kernel will be rebuilt. Any problems that cause the rebuild to fail must
be resolved (by your operating system vendor or other third party product vendor) before
installing the driver.
