Enabling the QLogic driver in SLES 9

In order for the driver to be loaded at boot time, the driver must be listed in the /etc/sysconfig/kernel and the ramdisk must be updated to reflect the changes. To enable the driver:

1.Edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel: vi /etc/sysconfig/kernel

a.Add a reference to the QLogic driver in the INITRD_MODULES line:

INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs qla2xxx_conf qla2xxx"

b.Save the changes and quit from vi.

2.Create a new ramdisk to reflect the changes made:

cd /boot

mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-$1-i initrd-$1

where $1 is the v2.6.x kernel version currently running. Example:

cd /boot

mkinitrd -k vmlinuz- 2.6.5-7.244-smp -i initrd- 2.6.5-7.244-smp

3. Reboot the system.
