Driver Installation
48 3ware SATA+SAS RAID Controller Card Software User Guide, Version 10.0
1 Boot directly from the SUSE installation CD #1 or DVD.
2 When installing SUSE, press either the F6 key or the F3 key, depending
on the version.
You will then be prompted to insert the driver install disk and to select the
media type.
3 Insert the 3ware Linux SUSE driver installation disk or 3ware CD.
4 Click OK and continue with the installation.
Installing the 3ware Kernel Driver Module on a SUSE
Linux System that Boots from a Different Device
In the instruction below, replace <kernel string> with the kernel version you
are using (i.e. 2.6, etc.).
In addition, replace 3w-sas.* with the appropriate module file for your kernel.
Depending on the supported release, not all modules may be required or
available.
The available kernel driver module files are:
• For default kernels:
3w-sas.ko
• For SMP kernels:
3w-sas.smp
• For high memory kernels: 3w-sas.big
• For i586 kernels: 3w-sas.586
• For Xen kernels: 3w-sas.xen
1 Log in as root.
2 Edit
/etc/sysconfig/kernel and make sure the file contains the
following line:
INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs 3w-sas"
3 If you are using SUSE 11.2 or earlier, after the existing 3w-9xxx entry,
add
3w-sas to the file /lib/modules/<kernel string>/modules.dep
Note: Other modules may be listed before or after 3w-sas,
depending on the installation. You may see entries like reiserfs,
ext3 or scsi_mod. If present, leave them (ensuring there is a
space between each module name), since the system needs them to
boot properly.
