Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello, I have several "servers" using old mylex DAC960P scsi raid adapter. So I though clever to install redhat 7.2 on them ... redhat 7.2 does install and run well with the 2.4.7-10 kernel from the distribution, but when I try upgrading to 2.4.9-13 (via rpm) it does not boot, there is a problem with resolving ext3fs symbols ... this is more a RedHat problem, but read on :-) I choosed to compile a customized kernel with only what I need inside kernel (ext3fs, dac960, ..) plus some modules I might need some day. I tried compiling 2.4.14 => my mylex card is not detected ! (driver dac960 version 2.4.11 from 11 october 2001) I tried with 2.4.9-13 from redhat => same problem (driver dac960 version 2.4.10 from 23 july 2001) I tried custom 2.4.7-10 from redhat => works like a charm (driver dac960 version 2.4.10 from 1 february 2001) all these kernels were compiled with the same .config (make oldconfig) hardware used: DAC960P-2, D040351-0-IBM REV.E firmware 3.51-0-04 detected like this by kernel 2.4.7-10: DAC960: ***** DAC960 RAID Driver Version 2.4.10 of 1 February 2001 ***** DAC960: Copyright 1998-2001 by Leonard N.
