i have updated some of our dell poweredge 2950 and poweredge 1950 to kernel2.6.9-55.0.12.ELsmp. After this i got a kernel panic after boot (no lvm found) switching back to 2.6.9-55.0.12.ELsmp helps. so i looked at the to kernel packages an found, that the megaraid_sas kernel module dont get loaded with the new kernel. take a look into the init file diff -ur 55/init 67/init --- 55/init 2008-01-21 08:38:19.000000000 +0100 +++ 67/init 2008-01-21 08:38:34.000000000 +0100 @@ -19,24 +19,12 @@ insmod /lib/scsi_mod.ko echo "Loading sd_mod.ko module" insmod /lib/sd_mod.ko -echo "Loading megaraid_sas.ko module" -insmod /lib/megaraid_sas.ko echo "Loading megaraid_mm.ko module" insmod /lib/megaraid_mm.ko echo "Loading megaraid_mbox.ko module" insmod /lib/megaraid_mbox.ko -echo "Loading mptbase.ko module" -insmod /lib/mptbase.ko -echo "Loading mptscsih.ko module" ....... any ideas who do fix?
i noticed that /sbin/mkinitrd doesnt add this module. but the megaraid_sas module is loaded (shown with lsmod)
