version that you are running), then perform the following steps.
(Note that the steps vary somewhat for 2.4 kernels and 2.6 kernels;
instructions are provided for each.)
You must have a full Linux kernel source tree in /usr/src/linux
in order to do the compile.
To compile a 3ware driver for SuSE Linux 2.4 kernels
1
Download the 3ware 2.4 driver source from the 3ware website
(www.3ware.com) or copy the driver source from the CD into a
working directory.
2
Install the Kernel source under
