Re: Kernel Module - Raid
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 All, So I was able to get the Adaptec kernel module uncompiled (YES! :)). I followed the instructions and now when I run 'make menuconfig' I see that I can make the ADPAHCI a module of the kernel under Device Drivers - - SCSI (I belive) - Low-level - ADPAHCI. Everything to this point is nice and happy.However, when I start to compile the kernel I get the following error once it gets to drivers/scsi/adphaci: - CC [M] drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.o In file included from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.c:35: drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.h:50:26: error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory In file included from drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdacsmi.h:47, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.h:96, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.c:35: drivers/scsi/adpahci/osmcda.h:228: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype drivers/scsi/adpahci/osmcda.h:232: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype In file included from drivers/scsi/adpahci/sysdef.h:186, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdacsmi.h:60, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.h:96, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.c:35: drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdadef.h:301: warning: useless storage class specifier in empty declaration drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdadef.h:314: warning: useless storage class specifier in empty declaration drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdadef.h:325: warning: useless storage class specifier in empty declaration drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdadef.h:338: warning: useless storage class specifier in empty declaration In file included from drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdacsmi.h:60, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.h:96, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.c:35: drivers/scsi/adpahci/sysdef.h:469:1: warning: /* within comment drivers/scsi/adpahci/sysdef.h:489:1: warning: /* within comment In file included from drivers/scsi/adpahci/chim.h:45, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/sysdef.h:523, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdacsmi.h:60, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.h:96, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.c:35: drivers/scsi/adpahci/chimosm.h:99:5: warning: SAS_DOWNSHIFT_SUPPORT is not defined drivers/scsi/adpahci/chimosm.h:142:7: warning: SAS_PROGRAMABLE_ALIGN_RATE is not defined In file included from drivers/scsi/adpahci/chim.h:49, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/sysdef.h:523, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdacsmi.h:60, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.h:96, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.c:35: drivers/scsi/adpahci/chimdef.h:2602:5: warning: SATA_MESSAGE_SIGNALED_INTERRUPTS_SUPPORT is not defined drivers/scsi/adpahci/chimdef.h:2629:5: warning: SAS_SAVE_RESTORE_STATE is not defined drivers/scsi/adpahci/chimdef.h:2754:5: warning: SAS_OSM_DEBUG_MODE is not defined In file included from drivers/scsi/adpahci/raidtype.h:56, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/sysdef.h:561, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdacsmi.h:60, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.h:96, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.c:35: drivers/scsi/adpahci/sysdef.h:469:1: warning: /* within comment drivers/scsi/adpahci/sysdef.h:489:1: warning: /* within comment In file included from drivers/scsi/adpahci/sysdef.h:574, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdacsmi.h:60, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.h:96, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.c:35: drivers/scsi/adpahci/sysdev.h:232:5: warning: PROFILER is not defined In file included from drivers/scsi/adpahci/sysdef.h:577, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdacsmi.h:60, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.h:96, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.c:35: drivers/scsi/adpahci/osifprot.h:509: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype drivers/scsi/adpahci/osifprot.h:512: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype drivers/scsi/adpahci/osifprot.h:531: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration drivers/scsi/adpahci/osifprot.h:540: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype drivers/scsi/adpahci/osifprot.h:552: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype drivers/scsi/adpahci/osifprot.h:571: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype drivers/scsi/adpahci/osifprot.h:573: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype In file included from drivers/scsi/adpahci/sysdef.h:578, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/cdacsmi.h:60, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.h:96, from drivers/scsi/adpahci/hr.c:35: drivers/scsi/adpahci/coreprot.h:274: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype drivers/scsi/adpahci/coreprot.h:281: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype drivers/scsi/adpahci/coreprot.h:487: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype drivers/scsi/adpahci/coreprot.h:555: warning: function declaration isn’t a prototype
Kernel Module - Raid
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 All, Hello. I don't know if this is the right place to post this issue but it does deal with RAID so I thought I would try. I successfully built a new kernel and am able to boot from it. However, I need to incorporate a specific RAID driver (adpahci.ko) so we can use the on-board RAID. The reason I am needing this is because we have it working with one kernel (the one it was compiled on) but we can't just copy the adpahci.ko and incorporate it into another kernel because the kernel complains. I have the adpahci.ko and am unable to get it to compile against any other kernel because I don't have the original kernel module (adpahci.c I assume is what I need). Is there any way I can view the adpahci.ko and copy the contents to make a adpahci.c? Is it possible to get the kernel object to compile with another kernel only using the adpahci.ko? Am I making sense? :) Thanks in advance. /paul -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHL3rtul+dQkHY548RAtIDAJoDZWME/Hku9QCESFW/yo/YG3WE5wCfeHPb fzs7FpKbhSr8PUbl2xrCfGA= =Lcdq -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-raid in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Thanks for the prompt replay David. Below are the answers to your questions: Hello.
