For Red Hat 2.4
kernels, type:
cp <source> <destination>
For example:
cp /mnt/rh80/3w-xxxx.* /lib/modules/
<put the kernel string here>
/
kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-xxxx.o
When prompted to overwrite, type
y
.
If you are using Red Hat 9.0
, replace
rh80
with
rh90
in the previous
example.
Use the appropriate module name.
In the example above, the name
of the module you will copy (
3w-xxxx.*
) varies, depending on the
kernel; however you will always copy it to a file named 3w-xxxx.o.
The available module files are:
For UP kernels:
3w-xxxx.o
For SMP kernels:
3w-xxxx.smp
For Enterprise kernels:
3w-xxxx.ent
For Bigmem kernels:
3w-xxxx.big
Use the appropriate kernel string.
The kernel string will have differ-
ent endings, depending on the kernel you are using.
For an SMP kernel (multi-processor), the kernel string will end in
smp
. For example:
2.4.18-14smp
.
For an Enterprise kernel, the kernel string will end in
enterprise
.
For example:
2.4.18-14enterprise
For a Bigmem kernel, the kernel string will end in
bigmem.
For
example:
2.4.18-14bigmem
3
For Red Hat 7.2 and newer
, add the following line to
/etc/modules.conf, if it isn’t already there:
alias scsi_hostadapter 3w-xxxx
4 Run mkinitrd by entering the following:
/sbin/mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-
<kernel string1.img> <kernel
string1>
Note:
The first argument <kernel string1.img> for initrd is the
kernel version string. The second argument (<kernel string1>)
for initrd is the /lib/modules directory to copy the 3w-xxxx
driver from.
5 If you are using the GRUB boot loader, skip to Step 6.
