making megaraid_sas as a module
I’m trying to recompile the 2.6.29.4 kernel to have the megaraid_sas driver built as a module instead of built-in to see if it solves a problem that is happening on a Dell Perc 6 contoller. I’m having some trouble getting it to boot. It compiles fine as a module, but when the system boots, it freaks with a kernel panic and not being able to mount / . It looks like it can’t find the scsi disk controller since it complains about not being able to mount /. I’ve seen this before where I had to rebuild initrd…and preload the right modules…
I’m compiling and installing the modules then rebuilding initrd with --preload=megaraid_sas, but that does not help. Maybe there are more scsi drivers needed to preload?
Any thoughts?
I've searched the net, but it doesn't look like others have had to go from built-in to modules and have this issue.
