I recently had the same problem with the 2950 and was able to get around this by running si_prepareclient with --my-modules. This created a kernel and initrd file with the modules loaded on my golden-client. I used these to successfully pxe boot install a clone. I'm currently using 3.7.5-1.
Hope this helps. -John -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tory M Blue Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 10:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Sisuite-users] Adding modules,Dell 2950 Perc 5/i megaraid_sas Redhat Evening, I've tried my best but need to reach out for some assistance. I'm running si 3.7.5 (was running 3.6.3 without issues, however I was hoping 3.7.5 would cure all my driver issues). Dell 2950, Broadcom dual port nic and Perc 5/i (LSI Megaraid card). 3.7.5 sees the new nic, but the netboot fails no deviced found, kernel doesn't recognize your devices.. I take that as to mean the initrd.img does not have the megaraid.sas.ko included, I then unpacked the initrd.img, added a recent megaraid.sas.ko module under my_modules, added the following line: insmod megaraid.sas.ko to the INSMOD file, re-cramed it etc. Put it in place and I receive a error indicating writing to the /proc filesystem failed because it's read only. A) I would like to know what I'm doing wrong, B) would like to know if there is an easier way to add modules, without trying to recompile my kernel. I've also downloaded the si source, but that totally fails when trying to make install_binaries. I have a hard time believing that megeraid_sas is not built into the new si initrd.img and thus feel it's something I'm doing wrong. How do I continue to investigate this? Thanks for any and all assistance.r ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
