ClearFoundation

Hello, for the frist time in 2 years i turned off the clear os servers to put Emulex Corporation LP9802 Fibre Channel. We have 6 clearos 5.2 servers , and 2 clear 6.x. all Dells 2800 with 2 CPU 3.00GHz and 6gb of memroy.

Well here is my ? Clearos5.2 see it, but is it the older driver. i start up date the drive and it say i need Reel 4 or high and the Kernel need to update. Is there a up to the kernel? thanks

kris

when trying to install new driver, it saying : RPM cannot be installed : Kernel source and gcc packages are required

Which kernel do you have ("uname -r")? A yum update and reboot will install the latest kernel (2.6.18-308.1.1.v5). If that does not work, I think Tim compiled a 2.6.32 kernel but it had some limitations. There is a thread in the forum somewhere.

i have 2.6.18-308.1.1.v5.

Im so lost in this

OK. You have the latest kernel for 5.2. If you want the gcc compiler do:but you may find out you need more tools. If so you can go for the bigger installation of:When it says you need the kernel source, the likelihood is that it needs the devel package and possibly the headers which you can install with:You may want to just try the devel first. I had a look in the repo's yesterday and could not find the source code so try this first.
