AMCC 9000 manual 3w-9xxx to /lib/modules/kernel string/modules.dep file

Driver Installation Under Linux

Note about variables: In the instruction below, replace <kernel string> with the kernel version you are using (i.e. 2.6, etc.), replace *** with your version of SuSE.

In addition, replace 3w-9xxx.* with the appropriate module file for your kernel. The available module files are:

For UP kernels: 3w-9xxx.ko

For SMP kernels: 3w-9xxx.smp

For BigSMP (high memory) kernels: 3w-9xxx.big

3If you are using SuSE 9.1 or earlier, after the existing 3w-xxx entry, add

3w-9xxx to /lib/modules/<kernel string>/modules.dep file

4Mount the CD-ROM, copy and install the appropriate driver for your system.

Note: The AMD 64-bit driver is also used for 64-bit Intel Xeon systems.

mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom

cp /cdrom/packages/drivers/linux/suse/***/3w-9xxx.* /

lib/modules/<kernel string>/kernel/drivers/scsi/ /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/<kernel string>/

kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko

If the driver installation fails, confirm that the correct driver was installed from the CD-ROM. If a driver is not available for your system, you will need to compile your own driver, as described below.

5Run /sbin/depmod -a

6Type /sbin/mkinitrd
