Step 1 Update Grub
If you are running an SLES SMP System, you must first update the /boot/grub/menu.
lst.
Example:
default=0
timeout=8
title Linux
kernel (hd0,1)/vmlinux root=/dev/hda1 acpi=off
initrd (hd0,1)/initrd
Reboot the system to allow the new kernel parameters to take effect.
Step 2 Install the Driver Module
Extract the module file from the file /linux/suse /[arch]-[version]/install/update.tar.gz
(from the driver disk), using the following commands (SLES 9 is used as an example):
# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
# cd /
# tar xfz /mnt/floppy/linux/suse/i386-sles9/install/update.tar.gz
The driver modules will be extracted to the directory /lib/modules/[kernel-ver]/kernel/
drivers/scsi/ .
After you have extracted the driver module, you can load it by following commands:
# modprobe sd_mod
# insmod rr2310_00.ko
Then you can access the arrays attached to the controller as SCSI devices (e.g. /dev/
sda).
