If you are using SuSE 9.1 or earlier, after the existing 3w-xxx entry, add
3w-9xxx
to the file
/lib/modules/
<kernel string>
/modules.dep

Mount the CD-ROM and copy and install the appropriate kernel driver
module for your system.
mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom
Copy the kernel driver module:
For SuSE 10.1 Professional 32-bit (x86),
type:
cp /cdrom/packages/drivers/linux/suse/su101/x86/
3w-9xxx.<ko, smp, or big>
/lib/modules/
<kernel string>
/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko
For SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.0 64-bit (x86_64),
type:
cp /cdrom/packages/drivers/linux/suse/su101/x86_64/
3w-9xxx.<ko or smp>
/lib/modules/
<kernel string>
/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko
For SuSE 10.1 Professional 32-bit (x86),
type:
cp /cdrom/packages/drivers/linux/suse/sles10/x86/
3w-9xxx.<ko, smp, or big>
/lib/modules/
<kernel string>
/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko
For SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.0, 64-bit (x86_64),
type:
cp /cdrom/packages/drivers/linux/suse/sles10/x86_64/
3w-9xxx.<ko or smp>
/lib/modules/
<kernel string>
/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko
If prompted to overwrite, type
y
.
Note:
Other modules may be listed before or after
3w-9xxx
,
depending on the installation. You may see entries like
reiserfs
,
ext3
or
scsi_mod
.
If present, leave them (ensuring there is a space
between each module name), since the system needs them to boot
properly.
Note about variables:
In the instruction below, replace <kernel
string> with the kernel version you are using (i.e. 2.6, etc.).
In addition, replace 3w-9xxx.* with the appropriate module file for your
kernel. The available module files are:
For UP kernels
:
3w-9xxx.ko
For SMP kernels
:
3w-9xxx.smp
For BigSMP (high memory) kernels:
3w-9xxx.big
Note:
The AMD 64-bit driver is also used for 64-bit Intel Xeon
systems.
