Megaraid 2.20 DKMS issues

livewire98801 · 01-08-2008, 03:50 PM

I'm trying to install RAID modules on an Intel server and am having issues.

I have a driver download (ir2_rhel3-rhas2.1_v2.10.10.2-1_rhel4_v2.20.4.6-1.zip) that contains the following files:

Code:

ir2_RHEL3-RHAS2.1_v2.10.10.2-1_RHEL4_v2.20.4.6-1_readme.txt
ir2-v2.20.4.6.dkms.spec
v2.20.4.6-src.zip
ir2-v2.20.4.6-1.noarch.rpm
osd.xml
Web License.rtf
ir2-v2.20.4.6-1-rhel40-all.img
v2.20.4.6-src/

the v2.20.4.6-src folder seems to have sourcecode:

Code:

dkms.conf         mega_common.h              megaraid_mbox.h                              redhat_driver_disk
Kconfig.megaraid  megaraid.dkms.x86_64.spec  megaraid_mm.c
Makefile          megaraid_ioctl.h           megaraid_mm.h
mbox_defs.h       megaraid_mbox.c            megaraid-v2.20.4.6-kernel2.6.9-5.EL-all.tgz

and here is the default dkms.conf file:

Code:

$ cat dkms.conf
PACKAGE_VERSION="v2.20.4.6"

# Items below here should not have to change with each driver version
PACKAGE_NAME="megaraid"
MAKE[0]="make -C ${kernel_source_dir} SUBDIRS=${dkms_tree}/${PACKAGE_NAME}/${PACKAGE_VERSION}/build modules"

BUILT_MODULE_NAME[1]="megaraid_mbox"
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid/"

MODULES_CONF_OBSOLETES[1]="megaraid"

REMAKE_INITRD="yes"

#
# Patch n matches is being used for 2.4.20-x, 2.4.20-y

And the Makefile:

Code:

$ cat Makefile
obj-$(CONFIG_MEGARAID_MM)       += megaraid_mm.o
obj-$(CONFIG_MEGARAID_MAILBOX)  += megaraid_mbox.o

O/S:

Code:

$cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 4.5 (Final)

LSPCI info on card:

Code:

Originally I was trying to install the RPM. It would unpack into /usr/src/megariad-v2.20.4.6/ and try to install via DKMS. After I found and resolved a mismatch between kernel-smp and kernel-smp-devel, I can't get the RPM to work at all.

output:

Code:

$ sudo rpm -ivh ir2*.rpm

And the files are not being copied to /usr/src/ . So, I copied the above sourcecode manually to /usr/src/megaraid-v2.20.4.6 and tried to run DKMS on it.

Code:

$ dkms add -m megaraid -v v2.20.4.6
dkms.conf: Error! No 'LOCATION' directive specified.
dkms.conf: Error! Directive 'LOCATION' does not begin with '/kernel'.

Error! Bad conf file.
File: /usr/src/megaraid-v2.20.4.6/dkms.conf does not represent a valid dkms.conf file

I've tried two dkms.conf files. The first is above, here is my modified one:

Code:

$ cat dkms.conf
# Items below here should not have to change with each driver version
PACKAGE_NAME=megaraid
PACKAGE_VERSION=v2.20.4.6
MAKE[0]="make -C ${kernel_source_dir} SUBDIRS=${dkms_tree}/${PACKAGE_NAME}/${PACKAGE_VERSION}/build modules"
CLEAN="make -C ${kernel_source_dir} SUBDIRS=${dkms_tree}/${PACKAGE_NAME}/${PACKAGE_VERSION}/build clean"

I tried modifying the code (you can see the commented out lines above) to include "LOCATION[x]" instead of DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[x] at one time. It will add into DKMS but will not build:

Code:

$ sudo dkms add -m megaraid -v v2.20.4.6
Copying /usr/src/megaraid-v2.20.4.6/dkms.conf to: /var/dkms/megaraid/v2.20.4.6/dkms.conf

Add Completed.

Code:

$ sudo dkms build -m megaraid -v v2.20.4.6

What's weird is I don't see any actual error here. . .

make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-67.0.1.EL-smp-i686'

Also, I modified that dkms.conf file to include LOCATION directives, but I don't see that as being valid in any of the documentation. According to the DKMS documentation Dell's DKMS documentation, there are directives for DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[#]= and BUILT_MODULE_LOCATION[#]=, but not LOCATION by itself.

I've been hitting my head on this for a couple of days here, and I can't seem to find any helpful information on the internet. Any suggestions that seem helpful in the slightest would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim
