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!
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.
