unresolved symbol with hpt374.o (highpoint rocketraid 1640, debian, kernel 2.4.27)
 

i am using highpoint rocket raid 1640 and debian with kernel 2.4.27 .
From the highpoint site, i downloaded the driver hpt374-opensource-v2.13 , because there is no precompiled driver for debian .

after some struggles i managed to build hpt374.o ..

but then when i try to insmod hpt374.o , i get a long list of 'unresolved symbol' messages

hpt374.o: hpt374.o: unresolved symbol free_irq_Rsmp_f20dabd8
hpt374.o: hpt374.o: unresolved symbol pcibios_write_config_word_Rsmp_4f1c2e33
hpt374.o: hpt374.o: unresolved symbol pci_find_device_Rsmp_c584f4e3
(...etc,etc..)


what's this ?
is something wrong w/ my hpt374.o ?
is there a 'generic' way to solve these 'unresolved symbol' errors ?



regards, mf

it works somehow now..

here the solution if s.o. else has problems too:

ok i started again from the beginning

i downloaded the sources for kernel and kernel-headers again (watch out to use the correct version, use 'uname -r' to determine, then copied the /boot/config-<kernelvers.x.x> to /usr/src/linux /.config
then
make oldconfig
make dep

then make for the driver again

now i needed to modprobe mod_scsi and sd_mod (like it says in readme.txt)

modprobe still fails, but insmod works
.. now the raid is at /dev/sda

For future reference
 

For anyone having problems getting the RocketRaid 454 (and probably other models) up and running, I wrote up a HOWTO on the steps I took to do this:

But I apparently can't post that until I have posted three times...

twice...
 

so the above was once, this is twice...

thrice
 

...this is a really silly policy!

So let's hope...
