I reloaded the kernel to see that would help, it didn't.

Here is the reinstall of the Qlogic driver.

How are you doing with the installation?
I'm "suffering" the same, I have tested a lot of rpm (from HP, from Qlogic, form rpm.org) and always I got the same result. It seems that pci_module_init is obsolete for kernerl 2.6.22, now we should use pci_register_driver.
Take a look to http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi....php?p=2867496

I got the source of the drivers from Qlogic, I have changed that reference in the *.c files, but now I'm having problems to compile that files.

Please, tell me if you find a new good driver.

At this point I'm thinking on changing the Fedora for other.

Thank you in advance.

I don't remember all the methods I have tried at this point...

I'll take a look at the link and give it a try in a few days.

I will post the methods I try, maybe we can find the magic solution.
