I'm having real problems installing FC2 on a machine with an adaptec 2100S scsi
raid controller.

I knew to expect problems after finding the discussion on the mailing list, but
it seemed to be surmountable. I appear to have reached a brick wall however.

I get the same results when installing either FC2 or the new beta. According to
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg03906.html I should just
be able to wget the correct module, insmod it and away I go!

However either I'm doing something stupid (entirely possible) or this route just
isn't working for me.

I extract the module from the correct kernel rpm, wget it across to the target
machine, do a quick lsmod to see that two existing i2o modules are present, but
not i2o_proc. So I run:

# insmod ./i2o_proc.ko

Is there a reason why you don't use "modprobe" instead of "insmod"? Modprobe will install any prerequisite modules as well, which may help.


followed by:

# lsmod

but for some reason i2o_proc does not appear! Hence the install fails as it
cannot find any devices to install on.

There are no error messages upon running the command and no indication as to
what is wrong.

Does anything appear in /var/log/messages when you try to load the module?
