Okay, I'm dumb. This is quite perturbing to me and I can't for the
life of my figure out what the problem is. ANY assistance would be
GREATLY appreciated.
Help me, Spock!
WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO:
Install ftape on a server (a P100) I inherited from a predecessor
who at one time had ftape working, installed a SCSI tape drive and got it
happy, and is now gone. I'd now like to get a Conner TR-3 tape drive
working along with this SCSI DAT drive so that the TR-3 can do my
incrementals and the DAT can do my full backups.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL FTAPE:
I'm pretty much leaving MCONFIG alone except for telling it I have
a 586. I'm logged in as root, and I've got ftape-3.04d.tar in /usr/src -
it untarred into the subdirectory /usr/src/ftape-3.04d without a hitch.
I type "make" - no problems.
I type "make install" and BOOM:
/sbin/depmod -a
get_kernel_sys failed: Cannot find Kernel symbols!
make: *** [install] Error 2
Wha happened?
My predecessor *did* leave a lot of the old kernels laying around
(I'm doing this in 2.0.30) but I can't understand what the problem is.
Quite frustrating since I got this working on another machine
without a problem.
I've scoured the HOWTO's and README's and the only relevant thing
I can find is Claus Heine's suggestion to run:
modprobe zftape
and when I do I get this:
[root@brandybuck ftape-3.04d]# modprobe zftape
get_kernel_sys failed: Cannot find Kernel symbols!
Which is kinda like the problem I'm having. He says in the
Ftape-FAQ that if this happens that "something is wrong".
Oh, boy.
Thanks in advance mucho for ANY guidance!
