RedHat Linux 9 and FCA2414 HBA

[Troy Sanchez]

Some additional info.. Hope you guys can help some more...

When I tried to build a ramdisk just like what the documentation said.. this is what I got...

[root@penguin sbin]# mkinitrd /boot/newinitrd-image 2.4.20-20.9

/sbin/mkinitrd: line 137: [: /lib/modules/2.4.20-20.9/./kernel/drivers/scsi/qla2300.o: binary operator expected

What does this mean... The new ramdisk file newinitrd-image was created in the /boot/ directory. I tried to add this in the grub.conf file... Rebooted and nothing really happens. Still have the same problem.

Ok, so it's not a custom build. Is that build link there though?

As for the 'mkinitrd' error, don't know. What's line 137 of 'mkinitrd' say? (I don't have an RH9 box handy).

Sorry for delay this is a non working day today as is tommorow !

When you say


Why did you take this one ?... as Stuard say's there is already one in the 9.0 kernel

I checked here on 1 of my system I have

/usr/src/linux-2.4.9-21/drivers/addon/qla2200/qla2300.o

Perhaps you could do a compare the one you have from HP 7.2 to the one you used

the following command
#file /lib/modules/2.4.20-20.9/./kernel/drivers/scsi/qla2300.o

should give you something like the following
ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

If it is not, that would explain the binary error of initrd.

last are you sure that the output of you before/last reply is from lsmod ? or is it from dmesg ?

J-P

sorry replace


with
Perhaps you could do a compare the one you have from HP 7.2 to the one in your /usr/src/linux ...

J-P (who should double check before post)

Guys.. thank you for your patience in helping me out on this.

I used the 7.2version provided by HP because when I first installed the card, the MSA1000 did not see it and Linux 9 did not recognize it.

I did a #file /lib/modules/2.4.20-20.9/kernel/drivers/scci/qla2300.0 and it did give me back a response of ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

I also do no have anything in the /usr/src directory

Any more suggestions??

[Troy Sanchez]

guys.. i may need more of your help... I moved the card to another slot so it would not share irq. did a modprobe qla2300 to load it manually and this is what i got in the dmesg... near the bottom...

when I tried to fdisk /dev/sg2 nothing happens... how do i them configure the device?
