4. Assuming the USB drive is assigned to /dev/sda1, type the following commands to begin loading
the driver:
mkdir /AACRAID
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
cp -R /mnt/* /AACRAID
umount /mnt
Note: The following steps assume you are installing Ubuntu 10 or 11, using kernel
2.6.32-28. For Ubuntu 12 or higher, the driver les aacraid.ko-PRE_MOD and
aacraid.ko-POST_MOD are both replaced by the single le aacraid.ko.
5. Copy the driver le to the /lib/modules directory:
cp -f /AACRAID/aacraid.ko-PRE_MOD
/lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.ko
6. Remove the USB drive.

Installing with Solaris
Note: This task is not necessary if you are installing Solaris 10 Update 2 or later.
Instead, you can choose to install Solaris using the in-box driver and update it either
during or after the installation is complete, if required.
Note: If necessary, you can create a driver disk by burning a CD with the
aac_solaris-x86.iso le, available on the Adaptec Installation DVD.
To install the Adaptec RAID controller driver while installing Solaris:
1. Start your computer.
