I need to install a hard drive controller on Suse 10.1. (
Highpoint rocketraid 2220) The mfr. link provides modules, source and instructions.
When I try to insmod the provided suse module I get a "-1 invalid module" error. I assume this means they are no good with my setup and I have to use the source. Yast is worthless as it only shows me the generic sata_mv module which doesn't work.
So from what I can tell, I can use the source to patch the kernel or make a module. I don't care which as long as it works. When I try to make the module, it needs to know where config, version.h, and autoconf.h are. The readme suggests I look in /boot, but they ain't there. When I try to patch the kernal, it also wants a "full kernel source tree" whatever that means.
I am new to linux (aside from the hours I've spent trying to understand this situation) and my patience is running thin with this super-easy operating system. If I can't get this working then my new array will be NTFS. Please help me out here.
