Hi,

We encountered the same problem with the boot_drv rpm and the remainder o=
f=20
the mail explains how we solved it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 1) Please notice the "3" in our boot_drv RPM filename. Th=
is=20
means we are not using the boot_drv RPM supplied by Intel anymore, becaus=
e=20
we noticed packet loss using the Intel package on a Radisys ENP-2505 boar=
d=20
(see previous postings). Probably, this does *not* apply to non-RadiSys=20
boards meaning you can use the Intel supplied package in those situations=
.=20
However, the installation fault encountered (and the solution) was the sa=
me=20
for both versions of the package...

Here is a step-by-step guide to solve the problem:

- rpm -recompile boot_drv-2.0.1-3.src.rpm

     There's a fault in the installation script. The installation will fa=
il
     at a certain point.
     The remainder of the driver installation will have to be done manual=
ly:

  - cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/driver/bootixp/

  - Modify create_environment.rc:

      Change "HOST_I =3D eth1" to "HOST_I =3D ethx" with x the number of=20
non-IXP1200
      NIC's in the computer.

  - Modify .create_environment:

     Change "exportfs -ra" to "exportfs -ra >& /dev/null"

  - cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/driver/src/boot_drv/

  - Modify load_bv:

     Change
       major=3D`cat /proc/devices | awk "\\$2=3D=3D\"$module\" {print \\$=
1}"`
     to
       major=3D`cat /proc/devices | grep $module | cut -d ' ' -f 1`

  - Modify Makefile:

     Change
       cp bvloadapp ../bin
     to
       cp bvloadapp $(BOOTDIR)

     Change
       cp $(TARGET).o ../bin
     to
       cp $(TARGET).o $(BOOTDIR)

     Add to "install: all" section: (use TAB, not 8 spaces !!!)

       cp load_bv $(BOOTDIR)
       cp unload_bv $(BOOTDIR)

  - make clean
  - make dep
  - make
  - make install

  - cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/driver/src/pciDg

  - Modify rules.mk:

     Change
       ARM-KERNEL-INCLUDES =3D $(PWD)/../linux/include
     to
       ARM-KERNEL-INCLUDES =3D $(PWD)/../linuxIXAedu/include

     Change
       X86-KERNEL-INCLUDES =3D
     to
       X86-KERNEL-INCLUDES =3D /usr/src/linux/include

     Change
       CFLAGS =3D -g -O2 -Wall  -I ../module
     to
       CFLAGS =3D -g -O2 -Wall  -I ../module -I $(X86-KERNEL-INCLUDES)

  - make clean
  - make
  - make install

  - cd /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/driver/

  - mkdir /opt/ixasdk/enp-2505
  - cp -fR * /opt/ixasdk/enp-2505

  - Eventually reboot the machine (probably not necessary)

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Tim
