加载LSI驱动

如是是64位系统，则解压其中的megaraid_sas-v00.00.04.37_k2.6.32-21-server.amd64.gz,得到megaraid_sas-v00.00.04.37_k2.6.32-21-server.amd64文件，把这个文件加上后缀.zip；再次解压就会得到下面所用用到的2个文件

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server AMD64 x64 Installation Instructions:

1.  Copy "megaraid_sas.ko"
    Copy "initrd.img-2.6.32-21-server" to an USB-key

    把这2个文件拷贝进U盘，然后用系统盘装系统

2.  Boot off Ubuntu-xx cd, Until a screen Detect disks said "No disk drive was detected"
    到了检测磁盘这步，当出现“检测硬盘失败”时，弹出光盘

3.  Insert your USB-key, select for <Go back>, press on Detect disks
    此时插入U盘，选择“返回”

4.  Press ALT+F2. exit to console
    按“ALT+F2”，进入终端

5.  fdisk -l   (scan for device, assume my USB-key is /dev/sda1)
    执行fdisk -l命令，得到U盘盘符为/dev/sda1

6.  mkdir /mnt2 ; mount /dev/sda1 /mnt2
    新建/mnt2目录，挂载U盘

7.  uname -r (verify that your kernel is 2.6.32-21-generic)
    执行uname -ar命令查看内核版本是否与下的ko文件一致

8.  cp -f /mnt2/megaraid_sas.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid
    拷贝ko文件到相应目录

9.  cp -f /mnt2/initrd.img-2.6.32-21-server /etc
    拷贝initrd文件到相应目录

10.  umount /dev/sda1 and remove your USB-key from the installation system
     卸载U盘

11.  Press ALT+F1 to return to Unbuntu installer screen and select "Go back", next screen select "Detect disks" press enter
     按“ALT+F1”回到安装界面，重新检测磁盘

     (Expect MegaRAID driver get load and display disk partition)

Proceed to installation

12.  DO NOT REBOOT after Ubuntu is done. Exit to console again (ALT+F2)
  
Check for kernel version
装好系统后千万不要直接按“继续”重启，进去终端2要先替换掉/boot中的initrd.img-2.6.32-21-server
见下2步（因为原先的initrd不带这个raid驱动）

13.  ls -l /target/boot   (expect to see kernel 2.6.32-21-server)
     
14.  cp -f /etc/initrd.img-2.6.32-21-server  /target/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-21-server
     覆盖initrd文件

Press ALT+F1 to return to the installer screen and REBOOT
     回到安装界面，按“继续重启”

Instructions for recompiling/updating megaRAID sas driver

1.  sudo -s (must login as root)
2.  apt-get install build-essential ; apt-get install libncurses5 ; apt-get install libncurses5-dev
3.  apt-get install linux-headers-<new-kernel>
4.  cd /usr/src ; ln -s  linux-headers-<new-kernel> linux
5.  tar zxvf megaraid_sas-v00.00.05.21-src.tgz ; cd /usr/src/v00.00.05.21
6.  make 朇 /lib/modules/<new-kernel/build/ M=`pwd` (recompile megaraid_sas source)
7.  cp megaraid_sas.ko /lib/modules/<new-kernel>/kernel/drivers/scsi
8.  rm /boot/initrd.img-<new-kernel>
9.  update-initramfs -c -k <new-kernel>

Replace <new-kernel> with actual kernel version eg 2.6.32-21-generic
