Hi, In kernel 2.6.19 and 2.6.18.5 I am facing a problem with two modules not found : dm_mirror and dm_mod. (See my previous posting, for I am not able to suppress these dependencies even if I unselect the option in xconfig menu !).
These two modules are part of Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) Device mapper support Mirror target (EXPERIMENTAL) which I validated. Compile process built dm-mirror.ko and dm-mod.ko make install complained that dm_mirror and dm_mod where not found. Thus I guessed that the modules where incorrectly named. I only patched Makefile for dm_mirror module name to verify my hypothesis. --- linux/drivers/md/Makefile.old 2006-12-03 15:38:24.000000000 +0100 +++ linux/drivers/md/Makefile 2006-12-03 15:39:21.000000000 +0100 @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ dm-ioctl.o dm-io.o kcopyd.o dm-multipath-objs := dm-hw-handler.o dm-path-selector.o dm-mpath.o dm-snapshot-objs := dm-snap.o dm-exception-store.o -dm-mirror-objs := dm-log.o dm-raid1.o +dm_mirror-objs := dm-log.o dm-raid1.o md-mod-objs := md.o bitmap.o raid456-objs := raid5.o raid6algos.o raid6recov.o raid6tables.o \ raid6int1.o raid6int2.o raid6int4.o \ @@ -34,7 +34,7 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH) += dm-multipath.o dm-round-robin.o obj-$(CONFIG_DM_MULTIPATH_EMC) += dm-emc.o obj-$(CONFIG_DM_SNAPSHOT) += dm-snapshot.o -obj-$(CONFIG_DM_MIRROR) += dm-mirror.o +obj-$(CONFIG_DM_MIRROR) += dm_mirror.o obj-$(CONFIG_DM_ZERO) += dm-zero.o quiet_cmd_unroll = UNROLL $@ - Then make modules .....

However, I checked that modules where in /lib/modules/2.6.1.9.kernel/drivers/md/ ll /lib/modules/2.6.19/kernel/drivers/md/ total 169 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21879 déc 8 15:12 dm_mirror.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58701 déc 8 15:12 dm-mod.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6727 déc 8 15:12 linear.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80744 déc 8 15:12 md-mod.ko Thus, Makefile script is probably looking into the wrong directory to find modules dm_mirror and dm_mod Due to a lack of knowledge, I was not able to determine the actual directory where make was looking nor to find out in which script part I could change this. Any idea ?
