Note:
Other modules may be listed before or after 3w-xxxx,
depending on the installation. You may see entries like reiserfs,
ext3 or scsi_mod. If present, leave them, since the system
needs them to boot properly.
2
Mount the floppy drive and copy the driver into a working directory.
mount –t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
cp /mnt/linux/suse/i386-
<kernel string>
/modules/3w-xxxx.o to /
lib/modules/
<kernel string>
/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.o
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/
<kernel string>
/kernel/drivers/scsi/
3w-xxxx.o
umount /floppy
3
mk_initrd
4
If you are using the GRUB boot loader, you are finished.
If you are using the LILO boot loader, run LILO to update the boot
record on disk by typing the following:
/sbin/lilo
The output should be similar to:
Added linux *
Compiling the Driver (For experts only)
If you wish to compile the driver yourself (for a different kernel version that
you are running), then perform the following steps.
1
Copy the driver source from the floppy into a working directory.
2
Untar the driver source with the command,
tar zxfp 3w-xxxx.tgz
.
3
You must have a full Linux kernel source tree in
/usr/src/linux
in order to do the compile.
4
To build UP module boot to desired UP kernel, type:
make -f makefile.oth
The created file is
3w-xxxx.o
5
To build SMP module boot to desired SMP kernel, type:
make smp -f makefile.oth
The created file is
3w-xxxx.smp
6
Copy the module to the scsi directory.
For 2.4 kernels, copy module to:
/lib/modules/
<kernel string>
/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.o
