Creating a Red Hat Linux Driver Disk
If you are installing Linux on the new drive or unit managed by the 3ware
RAID controller, you must create a 3ware driver install disk on a diskette or a
USB drive. If Linux is already installed on another device, you may install the
3ware kernel driver module from the 3ware CD.
To create a Red Hat Linux driver install floppy diskette
1 Insert the 3ware CD into your Linux system. A GUI such as X windows is
required to load the 3ware menu.
To manually mount the CD, type:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
To start autorun, type:
/mnt/autorun
When it starts, you will be asked to agree to the LSI software license. To
continue, click
Agree.
2 When the 3ware Menu appears, click the Driver Disk Images button.
3 In the 3ware Driver Disk Images menu, click the button for the driver disk
you want to create.
A confirmation window opens.
4 Insert a blank diskette into a drive and click the Yes button to begin
creating the driver floppy diskette.
Note: If you need to create a Linux driver diskette for a Linux distribution other that
what is available on the menu, search the LSI KnowledgeBase for keyword 14546
