Highpoint RocketRaid Driver Mini-HowTo

Notice

This is wiki page is in its infancy. Please feel free to modify or offer suggestions if possible. Currently a lot of this was done from memory and notes, and should therefore be tested again.

Purpose

This mini-howto is intended to help others avoid the frustration I went through when updating kernels and having my root partition on a RocketRaid mirrored drive. While not complete, this mini-howto should get most users the ability to have the driver automatically compile and install on a kernel update.

Prerequisites

Ubuntu 9.04 / 9.10

RocketRaid 26xx RAID Card

Internet Access

Root/sudo Permission

Setup

Fist, install

sudo apt-get install build-essential
