TOPIC: Kernel Updating?

#5828
Re:Kernel Updating? 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
Hi Odeal, first of all thanks for taking the time to test and post the results

It appears that the dm-raid45 module is no longer in the upstream kernel (by Fedora anyway). However, it appears it is maintained as a patch by someone at Redhat and included in RHEL/CentOS kernels, see
people.redhat.com/~heinzm/sw/dm/dm-raid45/

I will have a look if the patch applies cleanly enough to add it in (although this may not be as simple as it sounds). Do you use dm-raid?

Some googled links

Hi Time - tried your kernel and had the same dm messages which I ignored...

Worked well thanks except for...

Found that lm_sensors would not give me the fan rpms on my Atom board - voltages and temperatures were ok...

Suspect problem is incompatibility with version of lm_sensors, or in smsc47m1 or hwmon drivers... Didn't pursue as:-

1. Don't have the time right now
2. The fix might mean it then not working with CC kernel

Hi Tony, thanks! yeah upgrading lm_sensors probably would have broken your working config

Do you have any references to dm-raid45 in /etc/modprobe.conf, I'm trying to work out where it pulls them from on install (i'm assuming during generation of the initrd). I don't have it here so hard to test

HI tim.

Just installed your kernel. Running ClearOS on a VMware esxi 4.0.0, 171294 server. Wich runs on a HP Compaq dc5800 small factor ( just a testserver )
Gave it 1gig of memory.

Did a dmesg and lspci check. No real problems found. only 1 warning but not of any importance.

currently trying to install vmware tools. ill keep you updated

Re:Kernel Updating? 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
Ok main part of vmware tools installs without problems.

But because this isnt a know OS to them. the dont have any prebuild modules.

1st problem ( no gcc )
sollution: yum install gcc binutils make

2nd problem ( headers )
sollution: like previous in thread. download and installed headers of tim. ( using his kerenel )

3rd problem ( language )
sollution: Put your language on english or the script dusnt recognise the gcc version

4rd problem ( header fille directory )

This is the problem im at now. Below the code and error

Code:

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /lib/modules/2.6.31.5-127.timb4.i686/

The path "/lib/modules/2.6.31.5-127.timb4.i686" is an existing directory, but
it does not contain a "linux" subdirectory as expected.



Now is there a difference with the headers for red hat based OSes then normal debian ones ?

Hi , thanks for taking time to test!

Did you install the kernel-devel RPM? this has /usr/src/kernels/2.6.31.5-127.timb4.i686/include/*

Re:Kernel Updating? 1 Year, 11 Months ago  
Thanks! glad its working now

To update - I have managed to apply the dm-raid45 patch to 2.6.31.5-127 so will test today and upload if successful (new version with suffix.timb5), the updated version should hopefully be available when the servers sync about 2am GM. I would be very interested to know if those who had the warnings above have now been fixed!
