Bartolini,

From the readme I see:

Below instruction includes how to manually update driver.

I. Installation

While installing OpenServer 6/UnixWare 7 be sure to insert the megasas Driver Supplement media before any HBA drivers supplied with your media kit.

You can find the complete readme here:

http://downloadmirror.intel.com/18778/eng/ir3_SCO_DRV_v4.05_readme.txt http://downloadmirror.intel.com/18778/eng/ir3_SCO_DRV_v4.05_readme.txt

You might want to verify if your OS version is supported by the latest driver.

Regards,

John

But my distro is a Linux OpenSuse 11.4....

I have downloaded the latest firmware From download.intel.com

# SAS Hardware RAID Driver for Linux

# File name: ir3_Linux_drv-v06.12-1.zip# Version: 6.12# Date: 12/15/2011

Sorry about the distro mix up. Looking at the specific drivers we have, we show SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11.0. I don't know about cross compatibility of that driver with your OpenSuse 11.4.

However, I Googled "Could not locate megaraid_sas.ko for module megaraid_sas in the DKMS" and there were a number of problem reports and subsequent solutions. Give that a try and see if that helps.

I think there is a problem with kernel version.

OpenSuse 11.2 kernel 2.6.31.5-0.1.1

OpenSuse 11.3 kernel 2.6.34-12.3OpenSuse 11.4 kernel 2.6.37.1-1.2.2

On OpenSuse 11.2 and OpenSuse 11.3

the driver update run succesfully.

Running < rpm -ivh ir3_sas-v00.00.06.12-1.noarch.rpm >

on OpenSuse 11.4 the update fails
