Hi list, I have the choice to use RHEL4 or Centos4.x on a Dell PowerEdge2850 who is linked to an AX100 storage system. My question is: does the QLA200 (the pci fiber channel card) driver will work on CentOS 4.1 . For now the card is listed like this on CentOS 4.1: --- #lspci 09:04.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp.: Unknown device 6312 (rev 03) --- What kind of modification must/can I do to the original RPM driver for it to work on CentOS? Am I stuck to use RHEL? Thanks for any advice.

The driver should work on both CentOS and RHEL ... was it written for a specific kernel?

ok I am on a X86-64 arch, this may explain the above behavior ?

If you installed the x86_64 arch ... Yes, it looks like that RPM was written for an i686 kernel.
Where did you get the RPM? Do that have a SRPM? Do they have an RPM for x86_64.

From the CD shipped with the card (by Dell, it was an all in one: PE-2850 & QLA-200HBA & EMC AX-100). There is no source on the CD nor X86-64 version. I can't find any driver for the QLA-200 on support.qlogic.com, except the windows one... I keep searching.

I can't really tell without the source code.
You might try installing i386 distro ... also, before that you might see if changing the text in /etc/redhat-release to what it says for the upstream vendor will make it work.
I respond to myself, in case it may help someone with the same hardware: the good drivers (at least the rpm's output says that everything is ok) are the dkms's one: http://download.qlogic.com/drivers/32113/qla2xxx-v8.00.03b-1dkms.tar.gz --- # rpm -Uvh dkms-2.0.5-1.noarch.rpm # rpm -Uvh qla2xxx-v8.00.03b-1dkms.noarch.rpm
It need the kernel devel package in order to build the module. [OFF] It seems that my Selinux was the source of the scriplet error. Btw lspci output still shows: 09:04.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp.: Unknown device 6312 (rev 03)
Thanks anyway and if someone use the same hardware on CentOS I would really appreciate some hints for a clean install. kadafax
