NEWBIE: Installing FastTrak 100 TX2 module during a Kickstart

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

 



I apologize in advance if this is not the correct forum for my question.
If you think there is a better place, please direct me there.

I am trying to kickstart a system with RedHat 7.1.  This system contains a
Promise Fastrak 100 TX2 ATA RAID Controller.

>From the Promise website I downloaded a package containing the modules for
RedHat 7.1.  I modified the modules.cgz file on my floppy disk to include a
ft.o module.   I copied this ft.o modules from the 2.4.2-2BOOT directory
found when ripping apart the modules.cgz file downloaded from Promise.
Using this module I get the following during installation:

"going to insmod ft.o (path is null)
/tmp/ft.o:  unresolved symbol scsi_unregister_module
/tmp/ft.o:  unresolved symbol scsi_register
/tmp/ft.o:  unresolved symbol scsi_register_module"
Then eventually, "No valid devices found on which to create new
filesystems"

If I use the ft.o module from the 2.4.2-2 directory I will get the
following message:

"/tmp/ft.o:  kernel-module was compiled for kernel version 2.4.2-2 while
this kernel is version 2.4.2-2BOOT"

I'm confused!!  What the heck is going on?  Granted I know nothing about
modules, but here is a stab at the cause of my problem:
My floppy has version 2.4.2-2BOOT of the kernel which needs the version
2.4.2-2BOOT of ft.o.  The final installed system has version 2.4.2-2 of the
kernel which requires the same version of ft.o.  Does that sound right?
So, how do I get this ft.o module installed?

Thanks.

Regards,
Rebecca
