If SuSE Linux is already installed on another drive, turn to
“Installing the 3ware Driver on a SuSE Linux System that Boots

Warning:
Due to a problem in the YaST2 installer, the
3ware driver is not correctly copied into a working
directory and added to the initrd file during the normal
installation procedure. Steps 5 through 10 in the

you do not follow them, and instead allow the
