[Centos] How to install 3ware Modules?

[Seth Bardash]

mv initrd-2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp.img initrd-2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp.img_orig

copy 3w-9xxx.o for your system to
/lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/scsi

make sure there is an entry in /etc/modules.conf like this:

alias scsi_hostadapter1 3w-9xxx

The entry: scsi_hostadapter1 in the above may be different....


run mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp.img 2.4.21-27.0.2.Elsmp

Now you have the driver install done try it by rebooting and see if the 9500
is mounted at boot time.
