Updating a module without an IBM subsystem device driver

Complete this task to update to a more recent module without IBM subsystem device driver (SDD).

1. You must boot into SUSE SLES 9 before you install the QLogic driver source and compile the necessary kernel and driver.
2. Download the current QLogic adapter driver. For additional information, see "Downloading and installing a host adapter driver".
3. Type cat /etc/sysconfig/kernel at the command prompt and make sure that the QLA23xx driver is listed.
4. Type mk_initrd to pick up the new driver in the ramdisk image for this kernel, and then reboot.
   Notes:

   1. If you are using lilo, you must rerun lilo to install the changed boot parameters into the MBR. To do this, type mk_initrd && lilo from the command line. GRUB users do not need to make any changes after running mk_initrd.
   2. If you ever need to upgrade the kernel, repeat this procedure for updating the module before you reboot. Make sure the mk_initrd command runs successfully before you reboot.
