Hi Zhu.

These are the results off the common uname and the rpm-db of the system. It's a UP-system, but the XEON cpu looks like a SMP for the kernel, afaik. HSIx235:~ # uname -a Linux HSIx235 2.4.19-64GB-SMP #1 SMP Mon Aug 4 23:48:22 UTC 2003 i686 unknown HSIx235:~ # rpm -qa | grep k_smp k_smp-2.4.19-340 So, I'm running release-level 340. And now that I know about it I can see that the "supported" release is only 233 :( Should I downgrade the kernel first of all? > In your case, I think the kernel level on your system is the > one that is not supported by TSM. Could you please verify your > k_smp level for me (I think your sytesm is a SMP machine)? XEON, see above. Are there only a few kernels that don't work or ist the ...-233 the only version that is tested? > Once known your kernel level, I will work with you to make TSM > device drivers work on your system. Thank you very much. I have included the SCSI information for the second round of this.
