Hi List
I'm trying to update to the lastest kernel but I have a dirver that is not
inculded in the distrubution, and I had to use the driver disk when installing
centos 4.4 in the first place, The driver megasr .ko works fine with the
installed kernel but I cannot find on for the updated kernel, any adive would
be appreciated.
without the updated driver there is a kernel panic on boot due to not finding
the correct hard drive controller driver
Normally the megasr.ko should reside in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates
You can copy it to the newer location (replace with your kernel number
of course), issue depmod -a, recreate an initrd image that will contain
the module , modify grub.conf and reboot.
I've tested this for a low level entry IBM server that uses a fakeraid
adapter
See for example this post on the forum :
