I have submitted this report before to a dledford. I have recieved no response on this matter at all. I have e-mailed several times with no response. We have many customers who want to use Red Hat. Please, whoever gets this bug it is very important that we get some insight on this problem. My name Oswaldo Rodriguez, I work for a company called PSI (Perceptive Solutions, Inc.) There are problems with the installation of our third party SCSI drivers on your Redhat 6.0 distribution diskette. Our drivers are in the sources on the Redhat 6.0 distribution CD, but are not included in the built kernel. While they should be included as SCSI modules some of them were not marked as such in the default kernel configuration. Similar problems appear to also affect other third party SCSI providers. The script for driver selection lists only one of the three drivers we furnished (and that are included in the sources). During Installation, messaging appears that indicates two of the three drivers (including the only one selectable during installation) were not configured as modules. This prevents generation of the target system. Another problem is that any kernel built using the sources supplied fails with a version mismatch during the "boot loader installation" step. Manually running insmod reports that loop.0 was built with version 2.2.5-14BOOT while the generated kernel is reported as version 2.2.5-15. This problem prevents the installation of the boot loader in an otherwise fully functional (although manually generated) working system. With these problems, there is NO practical mechanism for a normal user to install our drivers using the Redhat 6.0. While our drivers have no problems running in 6.0, getting them installed with the scripts Redhat has generated is a problem. Correcting the configuration (M for module instead of NO) should address one of the immediate problems problems with the 6.0 as distributed. The problem of upgrades (or field addition of SCSI drivers) however, will remain until the version mismatch problem is addressed. We would like to work with Redhat to eliminate these problems so the full value of 6.x can be accessible. Please feel free to contact us for hardware or any other support we can offer. We hope that these problems can be addressed in the near term. On a separate matter, we would like to suggest that the default for SCSI generic support (in the kernel) be set to ON (currently it is off). This fairly small module provides some powerful support. For us, it is a standard mechanism for an application to obtain RAID status information and manage hot swap and reconstruct. Currently it is necessary to build the kernel in order to utilize this feature. Thank you.... P.S. Once we get this resolved we need to also be placed on your hardware compatabilty list.
