Creating a SuSE Linux Driver Diskette
If you are installing Linux on the new drive or unit managed by the 3ware
RAID controller, you must create a 3ware driver install diskette. If Linux is
already installed on another device, you may install the 3ware kernel driver
module from the 3ware software CD-ROM.
To create a driver install diskette
1
Insert the 3ware software CD into your system.
2
When the 3ware Escalade Menu appears, click
Driver and Firmware
Disks
.
3
In the 3ware Driver and Firmware Disk Images menu, click the button for
the driver disk you want to create.
A confirmation window opens.
4
Insert a blank diskette into a drive and click the
Yes
button to begin
copying the driver to the floppy diskette.
Note:
If you need to create a Linux driver diskette for a Linux distribution other that
what is available on the menu, see 3ware knowledgebase article 14546
