HP supplied QLogic FC driver taints kernel on RHEL5?
Have tried the following versions: -
hp_qla2x00src-8.01.07.25-1
hp_qla2x00src-8.02.11-1
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/tainted
66
# dmesg | grep taint
qla2xxx_conf: no version for "inter_module_unregister" found: kernel tainted.
Of course the driver works fine but could cause us issues if we have to log RedHat support call against these servers.
Does anyone else have this/know of a fix?

Re: HP supplied QLogic FC driver taints kernel on RHEL5?
# echo "obase=2;66" | bc
1000010
Bits #1 and #6 are asserted. This mean that the flags TAINT_FORCED_MODULE and TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE are set.
This is explained by the fact that the both modules qla2xxx and qla2xxx_conf are not GPG signed (TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE) and that the module qla2xxx_conf has no version field set.
This is not a defect and should not pose a problem.

Looks like I'm the L2 engineer who is assigned to your issue internally.
My ITRC answer is part of the full answer I provided to the L1 engineer. The rest of the answer should get to you shortly.
Kind Regards,
