compiling modules - HighPoint RAID controller

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,
After repeatedly failing to successfully compile the oss drive provided by HighPoint technologies for their RocketRAID 2320, I am questioning my assumptions re: module compilation. The last time I had to compile a module, the source was already resident on the machine and it was done so inconjunction with a kernel recompile before the days of Fedora releases.

Assumption 1. The unpacked code does not have to reside in the source tree. e.g. keeping it in a download direction should work okay.

Assumption 2. As I am only building one module and not all kernel modules associated with a kernel recompile, I do not have to go to the source directories and run 'make' and 'depmod -a' - although I have tried this also.

The HOW-TO on module building is dated 2006. Perhaps there is newer information that I have not been able to find. I hate to purchase another raid board to get this project going, but I am not having any luck.

The module rr232x.ko exists after an attempted compile, but after chmod +x, modprobe rr232x.ko has FATAL errors stating that it is not a module.

? - anyone

Bob
