Hi! If i want to install the actuall kernel-rpm with rpm -i --force kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.i686.rpm there comes the error message: No module dc395x found for kernel 2.6.3-2.1.253, aborting. mkinitrd failed Fehler: %post(kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253) scriptlet failed, exit status 0
Why --force? You must be trying to install it onto an old distribution that is unsupported. It probably would not work because modutils and initscripts would probably have trouble with it. # CONFIG_SCSI_DC395x is not set The latest FC development kernel has this module disabled. I am guessing that it worked in 2.4.x kernel but it is either known to be broken or completely untested in 2.6. I do not see much complaining about it on LKML in the last 6 months, so its status is unknown to me. You may want to ask upstream about its status.
this needs fixing upstream. it's been broken for some time, and it appears no-one cares about fixing it.
