3 Mount the CD-ROM and copy the driver into a working
directory:
For kernel 2.4 (e.g. SuSE 9.0) , type the following:
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.o
For kernel 2.6 (e.g. SuSE 9.1) , type the above commands, but
use
3w-9xxx.ko
in the last line of the instruction.
4 Run
/sbin/depmod -a
5 Type
mkinitrd
6 If you are using the GRUB boot loader, you are finished.
If you are using the LILO boot loader, run LILO to update the
boot record on disk by typing the following:
/sbin/lilo
The output should be similar to:

Compiling a 3ware Driver for SuSE Linux
For Experts Only
If you wish to compile the driver yourself (for a different kernel
version that you are running), then perform the following steps.
(Note that the steps vary somewhat for 2.4 kernels and 2.6 kernels;
instructions are provided for each.)
You must have a full Linux kernel source tree in /usr/src/linux
in order to do the compile.
