To update the 3ware driver under Red Hat

Download and extract the driver, as described under “Updating the Driver
and Firmware” on page 169.
2
Backup any critical data prior to updating the 3ware driver.
3
Change the directory to the location with the extracted driver.
4
Copy the files to the appropriate directory.
(In the commands below, replace <version> with the applicable Red Hat
or Fedora Core version, such as ws4_u4 or fc5, and replace <kernel> with
the applicable kernel, for example 2.6.15-x)
Note:
Pre-compiled, tested, and supported drivers are no longer available for older
RedHat or Fedora Core releases using the 2.4 kernel. The source code is still
available (for a limited time) if a newer driver is still needed. Check the release
notes for more details regarding supported operating systems
