Installing A QLA2200 Fiber Card!!
 

Hey gang,
My boss gave me a little IBM Desktop PC that he wants to use a development LDAP/Collaboration Suite Box. OS is SuSE Enterprise Server. I'm in need of adding some fiber disk, so I installed a QLA2200 card. I've done an insmod, a modprobe, depmod -a, all kindsa stuff, but just can't get the card to be there after i reboot the box. What am i missing on this one? I can modprobe qla2200, and it's there. I can manipulate my disk when it's there. Just after i reboot....Poof! gone!

Someone please give me a little help here? Maybe?

TIA,
MIke

anyone?

Add the module name to the file "/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4" so that it will be loaded on boot.

I have no /etc/modules.autoload. The OS is SuSE. It's gotta be something easy that i'm missing.


anyone else?

Hi,
You must add the qla2x00 module (use correct name of the LKM module) into the initrd. To do this, (on older versions) edit the /etc/rc.config file, find the line for initrd modules, add the name. Save it. Run /sbin/SuSEconfig, then mk_initrd, then, if you are using lilo, reinstall by running /sbin/lilo -v. Reboot. In newer versions, you can do the same, except the file you would edit is in /etc/sysconfig/kernel. All else should apply. Hope this helps.
