Updating the 3ware Driver Under SuSE
The following steps describe how to update the 3ware driver under SuSE.
Note: Pre-compiled, tested, and supported drivers are no longer
available for older SuSE releases using the 2.4 kernel. The source
code is still available (for a limited time) if a newer driver is still
needed. Check the release notes for more details regarding
supported operating systems.
To update the 3ware driver under SuSE
1 Download and extract the driver, as described on page 200.
2 Backup any critical data prior to updating the 3ware driver.
3 Change the directory to the location with the extracted driver.
4 Copy the files to the appropriate directory.
(In the commands below, replace <version> with applicable SuSE
version, such as su91)
Replace <kernel> with applicable kernel (i.e.: 2.6.21-4GB)
For SuSE Uniprocessor (2.6 kernels)
cp <version>/3w-9xxx.ko /lib/modules/<kernel>/drivers/scsi
For SuSE SMP (2.6 kernels)
cp <version>/3w-9xxx.smp /lib/modules/<kernel>/kernel/
drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko
