Hello,
I'am using a LSI 1068e OEM version from Super Micro (see lspci). I
was
able to install a plain CentOS5 with the binary drivers I got from Super Micro.
06:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic Unknown device 0059 (rev 04) Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc Unknown device a180 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10 I/O ports at e000 [size=256] Memory at febfc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Memory at febe0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Expansion ROM at fe800000 [disabled] [size=2M] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [68] Express Endpoint IRQ 0 Capabilities: [98] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [b0] MSI-X: Enable- Mask- TabSize=1
But if I try to load the XEN kernel or a newer kernel all I got is a kernel panic, because the new kernel does not know about the
megasr.ko
module that I installed from disk.
So I did the following (without final success):
- cp /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/updates/*
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.15.el5/updates
- depmod -a 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5
- created a new initrd-cpio file and copied megasr.ko into the lib
directory
The systems starts loading the kernel and its ramdisk, and then
hangs:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)
I'am a bit lost, what else I can do to get this working?
Best Regards

Hi,
i'am such a moron, now it works (with these steps):
cp /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/updates/* /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.15.el5/updates
depmod -a 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5
rm /boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5.img
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5.img 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5
Nice weekend to all.

Hello,
it's me again, the standard kernel works right now, but the XEN kernel complains about "invalid module format" for megasr.ko while insmod'ing the file.
Do I need a different binary for the XEN kernel?
Best Regards
