Compiling a 3ware Driver for Linux

52
For openSuSE and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 64-bit (x86_64),
type:
cp /mnt/packages/drivers/linux/suse/
3w-9xxx.ko
/lib/modules/<kernel string>/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko
If prompted to overwrite, type
5 To load the kernel driver module, type:
modprobe sd_mod
insmod /lib/modules/<kernel string>/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-
9xxxx.ko
Note:
If the kernel driver module installation fails, confirm that the
correct driver was installed from the CD-ROM. If a driver is not
available for your system, you will need to compile your own driver.
For more information, see 3ware knowledgebase article 14546

6 Type:
/sbin/depmod -a
7 Type:
/sbin/mkinitrd
8 If you are using the GRUB boot loader, you are finished.
If you are using the LILO boot loader, run LILO to update the boot record
on disk by typing the following:
/sbin/lilo
The output should be similar to:
Added linux *
If you are using a Linux distribution for which there is not a compiled driver
available from 3ware, you can copy the source from the 3ware software CD or
download the source from the 3ware website and compile a new driver. For
more information, see 3ware knowledgebase article 14546
