Driver Installation Under Linux
82 3ware 9000 Series Serial ATA RAID Controller Installation Guide
Note about variables: In the instruction below, replace
<kernel string> with the kernel version you are using (i.e.
2.6, etc.), replace *** with your version of SuSE.
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
3 If you are using SuSE 9.1 or earlier, after the existing 3w-xxx
entry, add
3w-9xxx to /lib/modules/<kernel string>/modules.dep
file
4 Mount the CD-ROM, copy and install the appropriate driver for
your system.
Note: The AMD 64-bit driver is also used for 64-bit Intel Xeon
systems.
mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
cp /cdrom/packages/drivers/linux/suse/***/3w-9xxx.* /
lib/modules/<kernel string>/kernel/drivers/scsi/
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/
<kernel string>/
kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko
If the driver 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, as
described below.
