Hi all,

I am trying to install RedHat Advanced Server 2.1 Developer Edition on my
Dell PowerEdge 1750, who needs the fusion mpt scsi driver.

Unfortunately, I could not find any driver disk for this kernel
(2.4.9-e.5smp).
This version is not supported by RedHat.

I would like to know how can I build a driver disk for this kernel, using
the driver sources I downloaded from LSI Logic site.

Thanks,
Nir

So far so good...
That's almost identical to what I've done.
I took the original driver disk (2.4.9-e.3smp), and replaced the modname.o with a compiled modname.o of my kernel.
RedHat identifies the modules in the driver disk, but when I ask to load the driver (using linux dd noprobe when installing) - 
I always get "failed to insert modname.o module".

I suspect I do not compile the module as I should.

The kernel rpm is kernel-smp-2.4.9-e.5.i686.rpm.

I installed this rpm on a temporary smp PC, with an IDE controller.
I uploaded the sources and tried to follow the build instructions, with no special configuration.

The replaced the *.o files in the disk with my new built modules. But still - no good.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks for the effort,
Nir

You should be able to get some more information by switching to an
alternate console.

As Martin wrote, you do need to use the exact configuration of the
kernel.
If you have the kernel source installed on y system, check the
/usr/src/linux/configs directory. There should be a file ...BOOT...
which you should use as the .config file for your installation kernel.

I am trying to compile the mpt modules again.
It seems that kernel < 2.4.18 require a kernel patch to support fusion mpt.

I used make oldconfig to reconfigure the kernel, and added the MPT FUSION support for modules.

How can I re-create the kernel rpm , so I can replace the rpm exists in my installation cd ?

Thanks,
Nir

DKMS can generate driver disks for Red Hat; other distros are possible
too if someone familiar with them sends the code.

http://freshmeat.net/projects/dkms

I find this much simpler than generating them by hand.
Feedback about DKMS can be sent to dkms-devel@lists.us.dell.com
(subscribe at http://lists.us.dell.com).

Thanks,
Matt
