The Mylex AcceleRAID 352 RAID Controller is not supported during the install of RedHat 7.0. (HW: dual zeon 550, 1gb ram, 6xCheetah hotswap, C440GX MB). After installing RH 7.0 to an IDE disk (temporarily), I browsed /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/drivers/block/DAC960.c and noticed that only version 2.2.5 was included, which is probably why only older DAC960's are supported (2.2.9 is the newest version). What is the correct solution to this problem? - I know that I can install to an IDE disk then cp -a -v the partition over to the DAC960 after building a new kernel. That's messy (i.e. what if I didn't happen to have an IDE disk?). - I would like to build a driver disk for this (ala drivers.img) for use during installation, but the DAC960 requires some kernel patches to pci.c, which has kept me from making one so far. (Unless it is still possible???) - How about loading a DAC960.o on the current box? Is that plausible? - Move to 2.4.x. (but still doesn't help the during install problem).
The pci.h patches shouldnt affect the binary compatibility so you should be able to build a matching module for this.
Apparently, building DAC960.o from 2.2.16-22 (stock redhat version), 2.2.16 from kernel.org, and 2.2.17: none work (even when compiled on a RH6.2 box). The resulting DAC960.o gives the following insmod errors... Where should I go from here? Is there a way to build my own BOOT.img for RH7.0 with a custom 2.2.16 kernel (that includes mylex version 2.2.8)? Do I need to use the RedHat kernel config (for installation)? Is there a HOWTO on boot.img and driver.img creation? Thanks so much for the help. I hope this feedback is useful.

The following is what I get from 'make modules' using DAC960 driver 2.2.8 and kernel 2.2.16-22, (CC=kgcc of course), all done on a RH7.0 box. I even tried building a DAC960.o with the kernel.org 2.2.16 with 2.2.8 driver, then insmoding it on redhat 7.0, but that failed with similar errors of the last post I made above. I was thinking I could build a new BOOT disk, but then I would need to modify the kernel-2.2.16-22smp.rpm to include my new DAC960.o. otherwise it would probably install to the HDD okay, but then it wouldn't boot. Or, is there still some way of making a compatible module that I am just missing? make -C kernel CFLAGS="-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno- strict-aliasing -D__SMP__ -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 - malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS - include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h" MAKING_MODULES=1 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/kernel' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `modules'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/kernel' make -C drivers CFLAGS="-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer - fno-strict-aliasing -D__SMP__ -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 - malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS - include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h" MAKING_MODULES=1 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/drivers' make -C block modules make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/drivers/block' kgcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit- frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -D__SMP__ -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 - malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -DMODULE - DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h - DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c loop.c In file included from loop.c:46: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:145: `get_module_symbol_R_ver_str' declared as function returning a function /usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:145: warning: parameter names (without types) in function declaration {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:9: Warning: Ignoring changed section attributes for .modinfo make[2]: *** [loop.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/drivers/block' make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_block] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.16/drivers' make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2
