Is there a version of 2.0.872 building on a 2.6.38 kernel? I need it bacuse I need to boot my 2.6.38 system (ubuntu 11.04 32 bit) with root on iSCSI. The 2.0.871 iscsid does not recconect the root device once started and I read on the net that 2.0.872 works. The kernel modules of the 2.0.872 tarball are not compatible with the 2.6.38 kernel. Does anybody have a version that correctly builds and works with 2.6.38?
This is what I have tried: I have downloaded the tarball of open-iscsi 2.0.872 from the link on the main page and tried to build it against a 2.6.38 kernel (ubuntu 2.6.38-8-generic actually). The user land tools built just fine, however the kernel modules did not - there was no rule to build linux_2_6_38. Looking into the Makefile in the kernel dir I realized that this is needed for paching and the last kernel set was linux_2_6_35 (no patching). Based on that rule I created a new one for linux_2_6_38 and with that the kernel modules built as well (at first glance). I have installed the tools and kernel modules to my disk image. On booting via iscsi libiscsi.ko crashed on a iscsi_queuecommand call, however. Looking in the build log more closely and checking the kernel headers and libiscsi.c the problem seems to be that according to scsi_host.h of the 2.6.38 kernel the queuecommand() function should have a signature int (*queuecommand)(struct Scsi_Host *, struct scsi_cmnd *); whereas the iscsi_queuecommand() function in libiscsi.c comming form the 2.0.872 tarball has signature int iscsi_queuecommand(struct scsi_cmnd *, void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)); I have downloaded the v2.6.38 snapshot from git but the module has version 2.0.870 there, so of not much help either, although iscsi_queuecommand() has the righ signature there (compatible with scsi_host.h of the 2.6.38). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
