[ILUG] Suse & Qlogic HBA 4010c Build Problems

[AJ McKee]

Okay I applied a bit of Stephs thinking here and tried the following.

vi /usr/src/linux/include/linux.version.h

#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.19-4GB"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132116
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))

Changes to 

#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.19-64GB-SMP"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132116
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))


Then;

cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/qla4xxx/
make OSVER=linux SMP=1 install

Lots of stuff I don't understand displayed on that glass thingy :) 

Cool looks like it built okay. 

It should have install it in
/lib/modules/2.4.19-64GB-SMP/kernel/drivers/scsi

Lo and behold yes it has. 

So I modprobe qla4010c.o and guess what.... the whole system lock up. Dies,
dead (I light of the recent dying discussion, my linux box is dead when I
load this module.) MMmmm will try something else after a quick smoke.

Any other advice (Thanks Steph, was good advice, pitty it did not work but I
think I am on the right path.)
