/lib/cciss_2445.o: init_module: No such device

[Anthony_141]

We are working with new ML350 G4p servers (we had been using ML350 G3's).

We have Redhat Advanced Server 2.1 AS Update 6 installed (to keep them consistent with our G3's).

Everything seems to work properly.

We did notice the following errors on bootup and wonder what they mean and how to get rid of them:

Loading cciss_2445 module
HP CISS Driver (v 2.4.45)
/lib/cciss_2445.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including inva
lid IO or IRQ parameters
ERROR: /bin/insmod exited abnormally!

Hello!

cciss driver is the Compaq Smart Array controller.
Maybe the card is:
- Removed from system
- cciss driver is not properly installed

Is the card removed?
What the lsmod, lspci said?
Try the ldd /lib/cciss_2445.o to check all
the libs are available ...

Regards:
Paul

I figured it out - had to uninstall the e.62 kernel (the latest from Redhat), install the latest cciss from HP, then reinstall e.62.

Uninstall the e.62 kernel we had installed after we loaded Redhat AS 2.1 Update 6 (it comes with e.57) - install latest cciss from HP - reinstall e.62 kernel.
