Hi All, I have an "appliance" cd which uses CentOS 4.0 (Final) which I am trying to load on a new Dell 1950 server with a SAS driver controller. During the install it fails to find any disks to load to. I got the drivers from Dell and dd the correct one to a floppy, boot from the appliance cd and enter linux dd at the prompt. I load the driver in the install and it still fails to find any disks. I have looked at the virtual consoles after the module disk and I see some strange information: failed to open /tmp/drivers/modules.pcimap: no such file or directory failed to open /tmp/drviers/pci.ids: no such file or directory ..... modules to insert mptbase mptscsih mptsas module(s) mptbase mptscsih mptsas not found So the driver disk is loading but....it can't find the modules. So I went on looking at the driver disk and found: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48 Dec 20 2005 disk-info drwx------ 2 root root 12288 Dec 20 2005 lost+found -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 330 Dec 20 2005 modinfo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 817645 Dec 20 2005 modules.cgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 116 Dec 20 2005 modules.dep -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52852 Dec 20 2005 packages.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 993 Dec 20 2005 pcitable -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 32 Dec 20 2005 rhdd So I figured out that modules.cgz is zip and cpio'd, I undid it and this is what is in that archive: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 21 14:22 2.6.9-11.EL drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 21 14:22 2.6.9-11.ELhugemem drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 21 14:22 2.6.9-11.ELsmp drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 21 14:22 2.6.9-22.EL drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 21 14:22 2.6.9-22.ELhugemem drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 21 14:22 2.6.9-22.ELsmp drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 21 14:22 2.6.9-5.EL drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 21 14:22 2.6.9-5.ELhugemem drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Dec 21 14:22 2.6.9-5.ELsmp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3850 Dec 20 2005 fusion.mptctl This seemed strange to me because CentOS 4.0 uses kernel 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL. So my question is could that be why the modules can not be found? If so what changes do I need to make to this driver disk to get working on CentOS 4.0? The controller is LSISAS1068 Sorry for the long post and thanks for the help. Glenn -- Glenn MacGregor HighStreet Networks
