G’day all –
I’m fighting with a CentOS 4.3 server install where I have a
RocketRaid 133 PCI card that causes kernel panic at boot up – I can
avoid the panic if I “noprobe” the drives attached to the PCI card. I
have read its because the card reports being a 3572A then changes its
mind to report as a 3572N or something along those lines – I have to
recompile the kernel with the manufacturers drivers apparently … being
a newbie, (never compiled before) I’m a little in the dark. Anyone
offer any pointers, links to howto’s ??
This is the link,
http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Kernel-HOWTO.html
If you wish to take a chance and stretch your learning curve,
the better way is to download the kernel-XXX-XX.src.rpm (source rpm)
for Centos and examine the source codes. One of the files has got
a name like kernel-config or config. This is where your driver specs
should be included or modified. Check the README file in your
manufacturers driver source codes and follow intructions.
Hopefully you'll solve your problem yourself and pick up more
tricks of the trade.
