1.3.2. Requirements for Installing the iSCSI Software

When installing the iSCSI software, it is required that the system have Linux kernel source or its

headers installed in order to compile the iSCSI software as a kernel module. The source tree

may be only header files, as for RHEL5 as an example, or a complete tree. The source tree

needs to be configured and the header files need to be compiled. Additionally, the Linux kernel

must be configured to use modules.

Note

chiscsi_t4 compiles on all Kernel.org Linux Kernels 2.6.18+ Kernels, but only

tested and guaranteed to work with above mentioned OSes.
