Hi Ted, There was a regression when adding support for newer kernels that made it in to the 2.8.4 release. I believe that's the issue you're seeing (a kernel panic immediately on modprobe/insmod). The next release will include that fix. Until then, if you can check out the latest version of the code from CVS, it should resolve the issue. The CVS branch is Orange-Branch, full directions for CVS checkout at http://www.orangefs.org/support/
We are currently running the kernel module with the latest code on CentOS 5 and SL 6 systems. Let me know how it goes. For anyone interested, the commit to resolve the issue was: http://www.pvfs.org/fisheye/changelog/~br=Orange-Branch/PVFS/?cs=Orange-Branch:mtmoore:20110530154853 Michael On Thu, Jul 7, 2011 at 11:36 AM, Ted Hesselroth <[email protected]> wrote: > I have built the kernel module from orangefs-2.8.4 source against a 64-bit > 2.6.18-238.12.1 linux kernel source, and against a 32-bit 2.6.18-238.9.1 > source.
