INSTALLATION

Login as the system administrator (root), download the RPM to a directory on 
your hard drive and change to that directory.  

To install or upgrade the driver type: 

# rpm -Uvh kmod-base-4.00.13.09-3.el6.i686.rpm 

Setup is now complete. Please REBOOT your computer NOW!! 

NOTE: If the installation fails or if you see any warning or error messages, 
STOP, do NOT reboot the computer. The driver will not be operational and you 
must uninstall the driver by typing the following command: 

# rpm -e kmod-base-4.00.13.09-3.el6.i686

The removal of the RPM restores the system back to mpt*.ko modules that are 
included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.


IMPORTANT:

This KMOD RPM will install binary driver that supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 
and the errata kernels made available for this release.  Once installed 
these drivers will be carried forward with each errata kernel upgrade 
using facilities included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.  This is a big improvement
from previouse releases allowing the customer to not wait on driver updates
when errata kernels are released.
