Driver Installation Under Linux

Installing the 3ware Kernel Driver Module on a SuSE
Linux System that Boots from a Different Device
1 Log in as root.
2 Edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel and make sure the file contains the
following line:
INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs 3w-9xxx"
3 If you are using SuSE 9.1 or earlier, after the existing 3w-xxx entry, add
3w-9xxx to the file /lib/modules/ <kernel string> /modules.dep
4 Mount the CD-ROM and copy and install the appropriate kernel driver
module for your system.
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
Copy the kernel driver module:
For openSuSE and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 32-bit (x86), type:
cp /mnt/packages/drivers/linux/suse/ <version> /x86/
3w-9xxx.<ko, smp, or big>
/lib/modules/<kernel string>/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko
Note: Other modules may be listed before or after 3w-9xxx ,
depending on the installation. You may see entries like reiserfs ,
ext3 or scsi_mod . If present, leave them (ensuring there is a space
between each module name), since the system needs them to boot
properly.
Note about variables: In the instruction below, replace <kernel
string> with the kernel version you are using (i.e. 2.6, etc.).
In addition, replace 3w-9xxx.* with the appropriate module file for your
kernel. The available module files are:
For UP kernels : 3w-9xxx.ko
For SMP kernels : 3w-9xxx.smp
For BigSMP (high memory) kernels: 3w-9xxx.big
Note: The AMD 64-bit driver is also used for 64-bit Intel Xeon.
