3. Installing raid driver on an Existing System.
**********************************************************************************
   For x86_64:
	# rpm -ivh kmod-arcmsr-1.30.0X.19_rhel6.6-1.x86_64.rpm
   For i386:
	# rpm -ivh kmod-arcmsr-1.30.0X.19_rhel6.6-1.i686.rpm

	# reboot

**********************************************************************************
4. To compile raid driver on an Existing System.
**********************************************************************************

	Before you can compile a new driver, you have to install kernel-headers and kernel-devel.
	These two rpm packages are in RHEL 6 DVD installation disc /Packages.

	# rpm -ivh kernel-headers-$(uname -r).rpm
	# rpm -ivh kernel-devel-$(uname -r).rpm

	To compile arcmsr driver, extract driver source code to a new directory.
	# make
	# cp arcmsr.ko  /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/scsi/arcmsr/
	# cp arcmsr.ko  /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/arcmsr/
	# mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).old.img
	# dracut -f
	# reboot
