we have released an erratum with newer drivers, and also have a driver diskette that can be used until then. I think our support folks are the best place to get that disk Dear Arjan, in referennce to your comment: "we have released an erratum with newer drivers, and also have a driver diskette that can be used until then. I think our support folks are the best place to get that disk" Please tell me the URL where I can find such new drivers/diskettes. I all was able to find points to Kernel 2.4.18-x-y I think for RedHat 8.0 nothing for RHAS21. Neither I could find a way to contact your support colleagues, any 800 number you can provided? Thanks Just confirmed with HP: I must upgrade my RHAS21 Kernel 2.4.9-e.3 to 2.4.9-e.8 in other to successfully apply bcm5700 package Please I need help. I am trying to put my server into production and getting stuck !! The original bug has been fixed in later updates. Please contact support of aid is required for this bug, as bugzilla is not the correct tool for support requests. This is not a bug. I had exact same problem and was lucky to talk to a knowledgeable HP support engineer who pointed out my mistake. My HW/SW is HP DL380G3/RHAS 2.1/Kernel 2.4.9-e.3smp using the bcm5700- 6.2.11a-1.src.rpm. This driver IS backwards compatible. I didn't have to to do kernel upgrade to 2.4.9-e.24 to match the bcm driver. You can first type uname -r to get the kernel version you are running (either the up, smp or enterprise) and then, edit the file /usr/src/linux-2.4/Makefile and make sure the 4th line matches you kernel version. By default it will be something like -e.3custom, so replace this with -e.3smp or whichever kernel version you have. You can then redo the whole process from the notes. Where you have to rpm install, use --force. Then where you do this, # make -e KERNELRELEASE=`uname -r` oldconfig # make -e KERNELRELEASE=`uname -r` dep make sure you are using the LEFT SINGLE QUOTE!!! or you can simply do: # make oldconfig # make dep The rest is straight forward. bol!! Charles Lim: "Red Hat does not support 3rd party kernel modules in any way, wether they are proprietary/binary only, open source, GPL, or otherwise. We also do not support user compiled kernels or kernel modules. We only support the binary kernel we ship, with the binary modules we ship. This includes patched sources as well as unmodified sources." |
