Just tried out the new boot.img posted on gribble today, it failed to load the aic7xxx.o. ---------- tty4 shows ---------- * in loadDeviceDriver, ks = 0, typName = SCSI * pci probing for scsi devices * pci probe found 1 scsi devices * found driver for Adaptec 2740, 2840, 2940 * running /bin/insmod /bin/insmod /modules/aic7xxx.o * insmod failed! * /proc/scsi/scsi: Attached devices: none ---------- tty5 shows ---------- <7>VFS: Disk change detected on device ide0(3,0) <7>ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3 <3>kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k nls_iso8859-1 errno = 2 <7>ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A ----------- system conf ----------- 2 SCSI 3 UW 4gig HD's 1 ide 8x cdrom pentium 133 256k COAST 32megs edo ram Netgear FA310TX NIC
Forgot to mention the Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI3UW/SCSI2 card in my system conf list.
Ok, I just verified that I am using the " updated " boot.img. I re-downloaded the image from /pub/testing/i386/images *AND* /pub/updates/redhat-5.8.X/i386/images. I did a " sum " on both of these files, and they both produced the same output of "17424 1440". I then did a "sum" of the boot.img from the 5.8.1 cdrom, and got this as a output "08484 1440". After doing this, I tried to install with the "updated" image. It seems the module is for kernel version 2.2.1-4, and the kernel that the bootdisk is loading is kernel version 2.2.1-6. I also noticed this on TTY4 " <6> Install uses obsolete /proc/pci interface " and, " <3> kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprob -s -k nls_iso8859-1, errno = 2 "
fixed in next beta
