-Installing:
------------

-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
 this:

 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:
 --------------
 
-You need some entries in /dev for the ida device.  The mkdev.ida script
-can make device nodes for you automatically.  Currently the device setup
