aha152x_cs module missing with pcmcia scsi card
 

Hi all,

The situation is trying to use my adaptec SlimSCSI-1460 card on a laptop cluster to run Oracle RAC.

Running RHEL update 4:
2.6.9-42.EL

pcmcia seems to be working fine, I run "cardctl status" and get the cards listed, and also

cardctl ident
"APA-1460 SCSI Host Adapter","Version 0.01"
manfid: 0x012f, 0x0002

However, the Hardware Browser utility shows the card under unknown devices, and it doesn't seem to recognize the HD I've attached.

Looking in /var/log/messages, I see:

cardmgr[1989]: executing: 'modprobe aha152x_cs 2>&1' <30>
cardmgr[1989]: + FATAL: Module aha152x_cs not found
cardmgr[1989]: modprobe exited with status 1
cardmgr[1989]: module /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.EL/pcmcia/aha152x_cs.o not available
cardmgr[1989]: bind 'aha152x_cs' to socket 0 failed: Invalid argument


And sure enough the directory /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.EL/pcmcia isn't there.

There is /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.EL/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha152x.ko

How do I get this to work?

Someone has to have encountered this before. The card is listed as "works with Linux" on:

http://tuxmobil.org/pcmcia_linux_types.html

HELP

Solved
 

Ok,

The deal is the card doesn't work with RHEL4 (at least not yet) I reinstalled with RHEL3, and installed the kernel-unsupported rpm, and found and loaded the module no problemo.
