SCore Linux Kernel Installation

1. SCore Kernel Installation from binary RPMs To install the kernel image, issue the following commands:

   	# cd /opt/score.work
   	# rpm --install --nodeps kernel-2.6.11-*SCORE.i686.rpm
   	# rpm --install --nodeps kernel-smp-2.6.11-*SCORE.i686.rpm
   

2. /etc/lilo.conf

   If you use lilo, edit the /etc/lilo.conf so that the SCore linux kernel is used. An example of the /etc/lilo.conf is shown below:

   boot=/dev/hda
   map=/boot/map
   install=/boot/boot.b
   prompt
   timeout=50
   message=/boot/message
   linear
   default=linux
   image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1SCOREsmp
           label=linux
           initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.11-1SCOREsmp.img
           read-only
           root=/dev/hda5
   image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1SCORE
           label=linux-up
           initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.11-1SCORE.img
           read-only
           root=/dev/hda5
   
   

   Then, please don't forget execute lilo command:

   	# sync
   	# lilo
   

3. /boot/grub/grub.conf

   If you use grub, edit the /boot/grub/grub.conf so that the SCore linux kernel is used. Probabry you edit only default value to boot SCore kernel when reboot.

4. Please reboot reboot the system
   

   	# /sbin/reboot
   

   To make sure the PM drivers have been installed, issue the following command:

   	# dmesg | grep -i pm
   

   You will see several messages. e.g.,

   pm_memory:PM memory support
   pm_memory:Register pm_memory as major(123)
   pm_myrinet:Probe Myrinet rev 1
   pm_myrinet:Register pm_myrinet as major(121)
