Hi there,
Got some problem in patch 2.6.9 kernel and someone please help me out.
Thanks.
The details are as follows:
1) I wanted to try OpenIB on our AMD 64 Opteron machines, with
Cisco/Topspin IB switch and Silverstorm HCA and cables with PCI-X slots.
2) I installed RHEL4U2 with kernel 2.6.9-22ELsmp and am using gcc to
compile.
3) I downloaded the OpenIB packages from
http://www.openib.org/downloads.html, which is openib-userspace-svn3279-2.x86_64.rpm <http://openib.org/downloads/openib-userspace-svn3279-2.x86_64.rpm>.
3.5) I am following OpenIB's installation guide at
https://openib.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Installation+Cheat+Sheet
4) I got the patches from
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/branches/backport-to-2.6.9/
and got the *svn3279* patches because the OpenIB rpms that I downloaded
is svn3279.
5) I applied the patches Linux kernel without any problems (at least I
can't see any problems here).
6) I did "make menuconfig" and selected the corresponding infiniband support modules,
saved configuration and exited.
7) I tried to add udev rules, but found that the file /etc/udev/udev.rules doesn't
exist (however the directory /etc/udev exists with rules.d/ and some other subdirectories).
So I just created a new file /etc/udev/rules.d/90-ib.rules as the installation guide suggests.
8) The problems occurs when I tried to compile and load the modules:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6.9]# make modules
...
CHK include/linux/version.h
make[1]: `arch/x86_64/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST
*** Warning: "get_sb_pseudo" [drivers/infiniband/core/ib_uverbs.ko]
undefined!
[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6.9]# make modules_install
......
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.9; fi
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.9/kernel/drivers/infiniband/core/ib_uverbs.ko
needs unknown symbol get_sb_pseudo
So the modules cannot be installed and I can't load them with "modprobe"
and it says the module cannot be found.
Can someone point out what I did wrongly? Any hints will be appreciated
very much.
Regards,
Liang
