What are the unresolved symbols that are reported? What happens when you insmod tape390 first?
The modprobe command is supposed to figure out all this stuff, so I would have thought that just doing a "modprobe tape_3590" or "modprobe tape_3590_mod" would be the way to go. Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Tison Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 12:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SuSE SLES 8 SP3 (kernel 2.4.21-107) We just upgraded from base SLES 8 (kernel 2.4.19-3) to SP3. We noted is the tape module configuration change. We hand- wrote a sysinit script to modprobe tape390, and now an implicit insmod for tape_3590 fails. Sure enough, the new modules.dep lists two modules: tape_3590 and tape_3590_mod with the "main" tape driver (kernel/drivers/s390/char/tape390.o) as the sole dependency for each. True to form, lsmod shows nothing so named as loaded, and an attempt to attach a 3590 fails to register the device. No I/Os issued against /dev/ntibm0 work when we attach a 3590, but all I/Os (and the contents of /proc/tapedevices) work for 3490 devices. When I try to cd into the directory with tape_3590.o and tape_ 3590_mod.o in it and issue insmod against either or both, I get flooded with "unrecognized symbol" messages ... I guess these don't match the kernel. The new initrd doesn't have/load any modules that would affect the tape* chain. Any ideas where I might be bumping my head? Fix? TIA, --Jim-- James S.
