SUSE 11.x x64
Before you begin, locate the appropriate ISO file you will need for the service pack ver-
sion of SUSE installed in the system. (This file is contained with the support pack soft-
ware in the Linux Driver subdirectory.)
• For SP3:
mtip32xx-kmp-default-<driver_version>_3.0.76_0.9-1.x86_64.iso
• For SP2:
mtip32xx-kmp-default-<driver_version>_3.0.13_0.27-1.x86_64.iso
• For SP1:
mtip32xx-kmp-default-<driver_version>_2.6.32.12_0.7-1.x86_64.iso
1. Extract the correct ISO image and copy it to a USB drive or burn it to a CD.
To copy to a USB drive, you must use a CD burning tool (such as Daemon Tools or
Nero) that allows you to view the contents of the ISO image so that it can be ex-
tracted to the USB drive. A USB drive is recommended, unless your system con-
tains two CD-ROM drives.
Note:
You can use the following
dd
command to extract the files to the USB drive;
however, this command removes any existing data on the USB drive and replaces
it with the extracted ISO image contents:
dd if=<mtip32xx-kmp-default-<kernel_version>.x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdX
where
/dev/sdX
is the device path of the target USB drive
If the USB drive contains important files, it is highly recommended to back up the
files on alternate media before using this command.
2. Insert the SUSE boot CD/DVD and USB drive containing the P420m/P320h driver
image into the system and reboot.
