For the current kernel, I did this to upgrade the 3w-9xxx module: cd /lib/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/scsi/ mv 3w-9xxx.ko 3w-9xxx.dist cp ~/src/driver-9.2.1.1/3w-9xxx.ko 3w-9xxx.9.2.1.1 cp 3w-9xxx.9.2.1.1 3w-9xxx.ko cd /boot/ rm initrd-2.6.9-11.ELsmp.img mkinitrd initrd-2.6.9-11.ELsmp.img 2.6.9-11.ELsmp -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
