problem with e1000 HP drivers

[Jeff Neely]

I recently built 2 RHEL AS4 u3 systems. When I installed the 7.6 PSP it breaks one of the system's networking. I am getting messages "kernel: e1000: version magic '2.6.9-34.ELsmp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.2' should be '2.6.9-34.ELsmp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.4'" when I reboot. Does anyone know what is wrong?

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Of course, you were building the module with gcc-3.2 instead of gcc-3.4.

Other than changing your gcc compiler to 3.4, please verify your "kernel-headers" file.

Do an "rpm -q" on "gcc" and "kernel-headers".

Shalom,

Uninstall the PSP software. That was the cause of the problem, for some reason your system doesn't like it.

You might find RHEL AS 4 update 4 gets around this issue.

Please state the type of system, it can make a difference here.

The kernel packages are

One of my systems works and the other does not. They are both HP DL580-G2. I can't go to update 4 as it is not supported by all of my components yet (EMC DMX2 disk, EMC PowerPath software, Qlogic qla2340 HBAs, Oracle RAC DB.
