Checking the Linux OS Version
Run the uname -m && cat /etc/*release command to query the OS version and architecture.
The OS version and architecture must comply with Table 1-3 or Table 1-4.
Checking Special Items Before Installing a General Driver Package
- Run the make -v command to check whether the Make tool has been installed. If the Make version is displayed, Make has been installed.
- Check whether one of the following conditions has been met.
- Check whether dependencies such as DKMS have been installed. For details, see Driver Source Code Compilation.
- Run the ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build command to check whether the default kernel source code path /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build exists.
- If it exists, the kernel is automatically used for driver compilation.
- If it does not exist, provide the source code path during installation. For details, see 6.
- For CentOS 8.2+x86, run the rpm -qa | grep elfutils-libelf-devel command to check whether elfutils-libelf-devel has been installed. If its information is displayed, elfutils-libelf-devel has been installed.
Checking the Linux OS Kernel Version
Run the uname -r command to query the kernel version of the host OS.
- If you install the driver using the binary package, the kernel version of the host OS must consistent with that listed in Table 1-3. If the kernel versions are inconsistent, use either of the following methods:
- Recompile the source code. For details, see Driver Source Code Compilation.
- Alternatively, check whether the software package has been installed by referring to Checking Whether the Software Packages Have Been Installed in the Operating Environment. If no, update the system kernel. If yes, uninstall the software package and then update the kernel.
- If you install the driver using the general package, the kernel version of the host OS must be consistent with that listed in Table 1-4. If they are inconsistent, the driver may fail to be installed or fail to work properly.
Checking Whether the Software Packages Have Been Installed in the Operating Environment
Before updating the system kernel, ensure that no software package is installed in the current system. Otherwise, the software packages fail to be started after the kernel is updated. If this problem occurs, see What Do I Do If the Software Package Is Unavailable to resolve the problem. Run the lsmod|grep drv command to check whether the software packages have been installed.
- If no information is output, no software package has been installed. You can directly update the kernel.
- If yes, the software package has been installed. In this case, uninstall the software package and upgrade the system kernel version. For details, see Uninstalling the Driver and Firmware.
