Hi!
I'm trying to build Qlogic qla4xxx HBA driver (floppy dd image) for FC5, using
ddiskit 0.9.5.
I've successfully built the dd image for 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 and 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp
kernels. I had to manually add "modules.pcimap" and "pci.ids" files to the
generated image.. otherwise the FC5 installer complained that those files
are missing from the dd image.
When I boot FC5 CD with "linux dd", and try to load the driver disk, the
installer doesn't load the driver.. If I try to load the driver manually
with insmod (when in the installer) I get:
qla4xxx: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
modinfo says:
"vermagic: 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.1"
Is that correct? Looks like correct to me..
Is there something special compilation flags or something that I should be
using.. ?
Did you build the module for the i586 kernel or the i686 kernel? The
installer uses the i586 kernel.
No, I only built for i686 because "uname -a" says i686 during the
installer.. oh well, my bad.
I added the i586 build of the driver, but for some reason the installer
doesn't like the dd image..
Installer still says "No devices of the appropriate type were found on this
driver disk."
VC 3 (debug) says:
INFO : modules to insert
INFO : load module set done
What does that mean? It doesn't even try to load the module? Something
missing from my dd image.. ?
Same kind of self made dd image works with CentOS 4.2 / 4.3 installers..
Has the format/layout of the dd images changed?
There was a driver disk format change quite a while back back, but I'd
have thought that CentOS 4.x would be using the new format. What's the
directory hierarchy you have?
I used to make driver disks for my old Advnsys SCSI card but that's been
included in the installer kernel for FC5 :-)
What I had for FC1, FC3, and FC4 was:
