Yes, you'll just have to boot the UP kernel until you do. It should just be a matter of repeating the same steps with kernel-smp-devel
What happens with the smp verson with insmod /media/floppy/megaraid.ko It was already done with the UP version, same filename.
and putting the resulting .ko files in /lib/modules/xxx.ELsmp
Don't you mean /lib/modules/`uname -r`/xxx.EXsmp?
I don't think so.
uname -r for me is 2.6.9-42.EL
But I have /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.EL and /lib/modules2.6.9-42.ELsmp
From the help so far I am proposing to: # Insert floppy with 686 version of megaraid.ko mount /media/floppy # Copy the 686 megaraid.ko module cp /media/floppy/megaraid.ko /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.EL/kernel/drivers/scsi umount /media/floppy # Insert floppy with 686-smp version of megaraid.ko mount /media/floppy # Copy the smp686 megaraid.ko module cp /media/floppy/megaraid.ko /mnt/sysimage/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/scsi
and then
# set root to your newly installed system image chroot /mnt/sysimage vi /etc/modprobe.conf # make the line with 'alias scsi_hostadapter' say alias scsi_hostadapter megaraid # Save the file. :wq #Switch to the /boot directory cd /boot #Create new initrd files mkinitrd initrd-2.6.9-42.EL.img.megaraid 2.6.9-42.EL mkinitrd initrd-2.6.9-42.ELsmp.img.megaraid 2.6.9-42.ELsmp # #Copy the new initrd over old initrd cp initrd-2.6.9-42.EL.img.megaraid initrd-2.6.42-EL.img cp initrd-2.6.9-42.EL.img.megaraid initrd-2.6.42-ELsmp.img # Exit chroot environment exit # Switch back to the GUI installer Alt-F1 press Finish
