Driver Installation Under SuSE Linux
www.3ware.com 85
To compile a 3ware driver for SuSE Linux 2.6 kernels
1 Download the 3ware 2.6 driver source from the 3ware website
(www.3ware.com).
2 Copy the driver source into a working directory. (The latest
3ware driver source is bundled with the latest firmware and is
in the /src sub-directory.)
3 Install the Kernel source under /usr/src
4 Create a symbolic link.
ln -s /usr/src/<Kernel Src Dir > /usr/src/linux
5 Change the directory to
cd /usr/src/linux
6 Copy the config file for the kernel you want to build module for
from the appropriate /usr/src/linux/arch directory (listed below)
to /usr/src/linux/.config.
7 Make oldconfig
8 Untar the driver source with this command:
tar zxfv 3w-9xxx.tgz
The driver source will be output to a directory called “driver”.
