-You need to build a new kernel to use this device, even if you want to
-use a loadable module.  
-
-Apply the patch to a 2.2.x kernel:
-
-# cd linux
-# patch -p1 <smart2.patch
-
-Then build a new kernel and turn on Compaq SMART2 Disk Array support.
-Create device nodes for the diskarray device:
-
-# mkdev.ida [ctlrs]
-
-Where ctlrs is the number of controllers you have (defaults to 1 if not
-specified).
 
 EISA Controllers:
 -----------------
 
 If you want to use an EISA controller you'll have to supply some
-insmod/lilo parameters.  If the driver is compiled into the kernel, must
-give it the controller's IO port address at boot time (it is no longer
+modprobe/lilo parameters.  If the driver is compiled into the kernel, must
+give it the controller's IO port address at boot time (it is not
 necessary to specify the IRQ).  For example, if you had two SMART-2/E
 controllers, in EISA slots 1 and 2 you'd give it a boot argument like

 If you were loading the driver as a module, you'd give load it like this:
 
-	insmod cpqarray.o eisa=0x1000,0x2000
+	modprobe cpqarray eisa=0x1000,0x2000
 
 You can use EISA and PCI adapters at the same time.
 
-Booting:
---------
-
-You'll need to use a modified lilo if you want to boot from a disk array.
-Its simply a version of lilo with some code added to tell it how to
-understand Compaq diskarray devices.
 
 Device Naming:

[PATCH 2/2] to Documentation/mkdev.ida

[james4765]

This file is no longer reqired - the MAKEDEV program makes the ida/ nodes automatically.

Apply against 2.6.9.

Description: To remove an obsolete script from the Documentation directory.

-# Script to create device nodes for SMART array controllers

-#	mkdev.ida [num controllers] [num log volumes] [num partitions]

-# With no arguments, the script assumes 1 controller, 16 logical volumes,
-# and 16 partitions/volume, which is adequate for most configurations.

-# If you had 5 controllers and were planning on no more than 4 logical volumes
