Install Raidcontroller in OS11.1

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hi,
i installed a raidcontroller hpt r1740 to a PC with OS11.1.
I did compile with make to the driver rr1740.
After that i did insmod rr1740.ko and mount the new disk mount -t ntfs-3g …with no pro
blem.
I can access the new disk (raid5).
After reboot, I have to do the command insmod rr1740 and mount command again.
How can do this to automate this when the PC starts? What is the easyest way for that?
Thanks a lot!

I haven’t checked on 11.1, but the way so far has been simple.

In the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel :

Type: string

ServiceRestart: boot.loadmodules

This variable contains the list of modules to be loaded

once the main filesystem is active

You will find a few default modules for hardware which

can not be detected automatically.

MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=“vboxdrv”

You can alter the value in YaST2 via I think the system module. If you just hack the file by hand, you may need to run “SuSEconfig” to activate the change.

You may be able to use the Kernel Update concept, to have this module included automatically after a kernel update, there’s a way to ensure the kernel ABI is compatible with the module version. But that’s probably only worth doing if you need to roll the change out, on several boxen.
