Builds the driver .ko files.
Copies the .ko files to the appropriate /lib/modules/2.6.../updates directory.
Adds the appropriate directive in the modprobe.conf (if applicable).
3. Manually load the driver for Linux.
To load the driver using modprobe, issue the following command:
# modprobe -v qla2xxx
To unload the driver using modprobe, issue the following command:
# modprobe -r qla2xxx
4. Automatically load the driver by rebuilding the RAM disk to include the driver as follows:
a. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/kernel file to modify the INITRD_MODULES directive and append "qla2xxx" to the
string. For example:
INITRD_MODULES=".... qla2 xxx "
where, qla2 xxx is appended to the end of the directive.
b. Create a backup copy of the RAMDISK image by issuing the following commands:
# cd /boot
# cp initrd-[kernel version] initrd-[kernel version].bak
# mkinitrd
NOTE: Depending on the server hardware, the RAMDISK file name may be different.
c. To load the driver, reboot the host.
Building the Driver for SLES 11 and SLES11 SP1 Linux
1. In the directory that contains the source driver file, qla2 xxx -src-v x.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx -k4.tar.gz , issue the following

# cd qla2 xxx-x.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx -k4

4. Automatically load the driver by rebuilding the RAM disk to include the driver.
Edit the /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported_modules file (SLES 11 only) to make the following change:
allow_unsupported_modules 1 (replace 0 by 1)
Create a copy of the current RAMDISK by issuing the following commands:
# cd /boot
# cp initrd-[kernel version].img initrd-[kernel version].img.bak
# mkinitrd
NOTE: Depending on the server hardware, the RAMDISK file name may be different.
