SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10

Situation

The process of compiling the driver for a 3ware 9650SE controller fails with the following message:

ERROR: /bin/sh: scripts/mod/modpost: No such file or directory

According to the documentation in 3ware's knowledge base all requirements have been met.

Resolution

Please execute the following commands after installing thekernel-sourceandkernel-symsRPM in order to prepare the kernel sources:
  1. cd /usr/src/linux
  2. make cloneconfig
  3. make prepare
  4. make scripts

The last step will create the scripts/mod/modpost command which is missing in the error message seen above. Now continue with step 4 of the 3ware documentation.
