Different Device

The steps for installing the 3ware kernel driver module vary slightly,

depending on your specific installation requirements. Select the appropriate

set of steps below, based on whether:

• You want to update the RAM disk

• You prefer to load the driver manually or from a script, instead of

updating the RAM disk

About Variables In the Kernel Driver Module Installation

Instructions

These conventions are used for variable text for kernel strings and module

names in the instructions on the following pages.

Kernel String Conventions

<kernel string> refers to the kernel version.

The kernel string will have different endings, depending on the kernel you are

using.

• For an SMP kernel (multi-processor), the kernel string will end in smp.

For example:

2.6.16-smp.

• For an Enterprise kernel, the kernel string will end in enterprise. For

example:

2.6.16-enterprise

• For a Bigmem kernel, the kernel string will end in bigmem. For example:

2.6.16-bigmem

• For a Hugemem kernel, the kernel string will end in hugmem. For

example:

2.6.16-hugmem

Module Naming Conventions

3w-9xxx.* 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-9xxx.*) varies, depending on the kernel; however you will

always copy it to a file named

3w-9xxx.o for 2.4 kernels, or 3w-9xxx.ko for 2.6 kernels.

The available kernel driver module files are:

• For UP kernels:

3w-9xxx.ko

• For SMP kernels: 3w-9xxx.smp

• For Enterprise kernels: 3w-9xxx.ent
