This appendix provides instructions for recompiling the Boston 

driver to support new kernel patches.

Use the instructions below to recompile the Boston driver on 

supported Linux platforms so that the driver can operate with 

any kernel patch for supported Linux versions. The Boston 

driver supports only official kernel patches as released by Red 

Hat. After you follow the procedure, the driver supports only the 

exact version of the kernel currently running on your system, 

including architecture and variant. 

This feature only provides support for the Boston driver, 

the kernel mode code. Other parts of the Brooktrout SDK 

(the user mode code) might also need rebuilding, and this 

feature will not help in these situations. 

Supported versions include:

„

Redhat Enterprise Linux ES/AS 4.0 and 5.0

The fully precompiled installable driver binaries reside under 

the driver/linux/kernel/kvers directory. This directory contains 

subdirectories corresponding to each kernel version, variant, and 

architecture, with a driver binary in each (named boston.o or 

boston.ko).

For each Linux OS version supported, the only precompiled 

driver supplied supports the original kernel that shipped with 

that version of Linux.
