Module Naming Conventions

3w-sas.* refers to the specific kernel driver module you will copy in the
examples shown in steps 3 and 4. The name of the kernel driver module you
will copy (

3w-sas.*

) varies, depending on the kernel; however you will

always copy it to a file named

3w-sas.ko

for 2.6 kernels. Depending on the

supported release, not all modules may be required or available.

The available kernel driver module files are:

For default kernels:

3w-sas.ko

For SMP kernels:

3w-sas.smp

For Bigmem kernels:

3w-sas.big

For i586 kernels:

3w-sas.586

For PAE kernels:

3w-sas.pae

For Xen kernels:

3w-sas.xen

To install the 3ware driver and update the RAM disk

Mount the CD which contains the 3ware kernel driver module.

To mount the CD, type:

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt

and press Enter.

3

Copy the kernel driver module:

For Redhat Linux Intel x86 and AMD, type:

cp /mnt/packages/drivers/linux/redhat/

/x86/

3w-sas. /lib/modules/

/kernel/

drivers/scsi/3w-sas.ko

For Fedora Core on Intel x86 and AMD, type:

cp /mnt/packages/drivers/linux/fedora/

/x86/

3w-sas. /lib/modules/

/

kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-sas.ko

If prompted to overwrite, type

y

.

For Redhat Linux on AMD Opteron and Intel EM64T, type:

cp /mnt/cdrom/packages/drivers/linux/redhat/

/

x86_64/3w-sas.ko /lib/modules/

/kernel/

drivers/scsi/3w-sas.ko

For Fedora Core on AMD Opteron and Intel EM64T, type:

cp /mnt/packages/drivers/linux/fedora/

/x86_64/

3w-sas.ko /lib/modules/

/kernel/drivers/
