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”

****** NOTE ******

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
