This document (3534849) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10
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.
