3 In the 3ware Driver & Firmware Disk Images menu, click the button for

the driver disk you want to create.

A confirmation window opens.

4 Insert a blank diskette into a drive and click the Yes button to begin

creating the driver floppy diskette.

To get the kernel driver module

If you only need the kernel driver module, you can get it in one of two ways:

• Browse the 3ware CD to

/packages/drivers/linux and copy the

appropriate kernel driver modules for your distribution release.

• Follow the steps above to create a driver install diskette from the menu.

Extract the kernel driver module from the modules.cgz file, using this

command:

zcat modules.cgz|cpio -idvm

Installing the 3ware Kernel Driver Module while

Installing Red Hat Linux on a New Unit

To install the 3ware kernel driver module while installing Red Hat

or Fedora Core Linux on a new unit

1 Boot with the Red Hat or Fedora Core DVD or CD:

a Insert the Red Hat DVD or CD-ROM disk into your computer.

b Make sure the boot order in your motherboard’s BIOS is correct; then

start or reboot your computer.

Note: If you need to create a Linux driver diskette for a Linux distribution other that

what is available on the menu, see 3ware knowledgebase article 14546 http://

www.3ware.com/kb/article.aspx?id=14546

Note: If Red Hat Linux is already installed and bootable on another drive, turn to

“Installing the 3ware Kernel Driver Module on a Red Hat or Fedora Core Linux

System that Boots From a Different Device” on page 44.

Note: We have tested some older systems where a drive connected to the

motherboard interfered with using a drive or unit managed by the 3ware RAID

controller as a boot device. Disconnecting the drive while installing Linux will

eliminate this problem. After Linux is installed, the drive can be reconnected.
