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?
