BTW, I have dual LSI Logic/Symbios Logic 53c1010 Ultra3 SCSI Adapters.
if you change alias scsi_hostadapter sym53c8xx_2 to alias scsi_hostadapter sym53c8xx it should work without you needing to munge anything. Did anaconda set up that modprobe.conf ? I don't know if anaconda did that. I don't recall setting it up myself, but I know I haven't had this problem prior to FC3. A question: Isn't there a versiom 1 of sym53x8xx and won't I be getting that version instead of version 2? I tried using alias scsi_hostadapter sym53c8xx in /etc/modprobe.con with 2.6.10-1.741_FC3smp, and it works. I'm leaving the bug open because I don't know what you folks want to do wrt FC3/anaconda etc., but AFAIC, you may close it. Thanks. the kernel spec had a missing module_upgrade call, which changes modules names when migrating from one kernel to another, so when you moved this box from 2.4 kernel to 2.6, it kept using the 2.4 module name. in 2.6 however, the old sym driver got removed, and the _2 driver became the regular driver. Future FC's should do 2.4 -> 2.6 migrations automatically, though it's a little late now, and I guess most people either fixed up by hand, or for whatever reason, never noticed anything go wrong. |
