DKMS (megaraid_sas) and Redhat ES 4

[Patrick Steiner]

Hi,

many thanks for your help. But i have another problem now.

Dmks install outputs the following error:

dkms install -m megaraid_sas -v v00.00.03.09 -k 2.6.9-67.0.1.ELsmp
Running module version sanity check.

Error! Module version 00.00.03.09 for megaraid_sas.ko
is not newer than what is already found in kernel 2.6.9-67.0.1.ELsmp 
(00.00.03.13).
You may override by specifying --force.

Should i try it with force? Or is there version 00.00.03.13 available 
anywhere?

I have got the following controller:

# lspci | grep RAID
02:0e.0 RAID bus controller: Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID controller 5i

regards,
patrick
