Tracking drivers shipped with Linux?

linuxunix · 03-30-2010, 04:14 AM

I need to know if the following drivers ships with the CenTOS system or not:

Code:

Lsi Logic driver 
BusLogic Driver
Lsi SAS driver
open-vm-tools
PVSCSI

I did some homework myself while one is still pending.
lsmod | grep scsi did the trick
followed with modinfo <name>

But couldnt find for busLogic and open-vm-tools.
Any Advise?

'lsmod' only shows modules, that are used.

find /lib/modules/´uname -r´ -name "*" | grep -i buslogic
find /lib/modules/´uname -r´ -name "*" | grep -i vm
etc. etc.

But they are not present, just tried on SL54 ( = CentOS 5.4 ).
So I thought : No reason to answer you, when no solution.
But you answered yourself, moved your thread away from "zero reply".
Advice: Do not answer your own post #1. Use the Edit button instead.

P.S. : 'buslogic' is present in later kernels, and may be
you have luck with the upcoming kernel 2.6.18-186.el5,
lots of new modules in that, from later kernels ..
