For SuSE Linux with a 2.4 kernel:
cp /mnt/***/3w-xxxx.o /lib/modules/
***kernel string***/kernel/drivers/scsi/
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/***kernel string***/
kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.o
umount /floppy
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 2.22 kernels, type:
/lib/modules/***kernel string***/ scsi
For 2.4 kernels, type:
/lib/modules/***kernel string***/kernel drivers
/scsi
RAID array initialization
The completion of the system driver installation will start the RAID
array initialization process. This process may take several hours,
but it does not interfere with the installation of 3DM or the use of
the array.
