4.  Use the command uname –r to check which kernel the system is using. If the kernel 

is 2.4.18-5smp, modify the file /boot/kernel.h as follows: 
#define __BOOT_KERNEL_SMP 1

 

If you are using the SMP kernel, in order to allow a complete system shutdown, then 
perform the following: 

1.  M

odify 

the 

 

by adding the

 boot parameter 

.

 Then save and exit.

 

2.  Run the command grub-install /dev/hda, then reboot the system. 

Next, proceed to the following driver installations. 

LAN Driver 

1.  Insert the driver CD into the CD drive. 

2.  Copy the base driver tar file e1000-5.2.16.tar.gz of the 

 directory to the directory of your choice. For example, use 

 or /usr/local/src/e1000. 

3.  Untar/unzip archive: tar zxf e1000-5.2.16.tar.gz. 

4.  Change to the driver src directory: cd e1000-5.2.16/src/. 

5.  Compile the driver module: make install 

The binary will be installed as: 
/lib/modules/[KERNEL_VERSION]/kernel/drivers/net/e1000.o

 

The installation locations listed above are the default ones. They might not be correct 
for certain Linux distributions. For more information, refer to the ldistrib.txt 
file included in the driver tar. 

6.  Install the module: insmod e1000 <parameter>=<value>. 

7.  Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where x is the 

interface number: ifconfig ethx <IP_address>. 

8.  Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address> is the IP 

address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface that is being tested: 
ping <IP_address>

. 

9.  To ensure that the NICs function properly when system starts, add the following in the 

 directory:
