Linux Driver Support

Step 3 Mounting and Partitioning the Device

Note: Many versions of SuSE include YAST. YAST is a graphical configuration

utility that is capable of executing the commands described below. We recommend

using YAST, if available, as it may help simplify the installation process.

Example: A RAID array has been configured between several hard disks.

This array will be registered to the system as device “/dev/sda”.

1. To create a partition on this array (which will listed as /dev/sda1), use the

“fdisk /dev/sda” command.

2. Next, use the “mkfs /dev/sda1” command to setup a file system on this

partition.

3. Use the command “mkdir xxxx” to create a mount point for the RAID array.

Then, mount /dev/sda1 /xxxx in order to access it.

Note: xxxx represents the desired name of the mount point.

Step 4 Configure System to Automatically Load the Driver

To avoid typing in “insmod rr2310_00.o” each time the operating system is booted,

the system must be instructed to automatically load the module during bootup. To

install the module, type in the following commands (first change to the directory

where the proper rr2310_00.ko file is located):

1. Edit the file “/etc/sysconfig/kernel”, and add the rr2310_00 module to the line

“INITRD_MODULES=…”

Example:

INITRD_MODULES=”reiserfs rr2310_00”
