hi,
I want to compile Linux kernel 2.6.17 on my Dell PE-2850 server.
currently it is CentOS 4.2
# uname -a
Linux director 2.6.9-22.ELsmp #1 SMP Sat Oct 8 19:11:43 CDT 2005 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
CPU: Xeon 2.80GHz x 2
Mem: 4G
# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.4/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-java-awt=gtk
--host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)
cd linux-2.6.17
make menuconfig
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
I can pass the listed 5 steps, but can't continue with mkinitrd
# mkinitrd initrd-2.6.17.img 2.6.17
No module megaraid_mbox found for kernel 2.6.17, aborting.
# grep -i megaraid .config
CONFIG_MEGARAID_NEWGEN=y
CONFIG_MEGARAID_MM=y
CONFIG_MEGARAID_MAILBOX=y
CONFIG_MEGARAID_LEGACY=y
CONFIG_MEGARAID_SAS=y
on another PE-2850 which now run RHAS3,
# uname -a
Linux out5.cnnic.cn 2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:52:56 EDT 2003
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I get the following output, a little difference.
No module megaraid2 found for kernel 2.6.17, aborting.
Any advice is appreciated !
