Well I've been trying to install Oracle ASMLib, and I have downloaded the
ASMLib kernel driver for kernel 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL.
When I ran the RPM, I got the accursed
Unable to load module "oracleasm" error message. After googling for answer, it seemed the problem happened because my linux kernel is actually 2.6.9-5EL (minus the "0.5"). So it seemed my kernel version is
lower than that of the ASMLib kernel driver (2.6.9-5EL vs 2.6.9-5.05EL).
(by the way, am I being correct here? Is it true that I got the error is because of kernel version mismatch?)
I've been Googling ad nauseam, looking for a download link for kernel 2.6.9-5.0.5EL, and haven't found any. I already tried
kernel.org website, and it doesn't have the specific kernel version I need either (there are 2.6.9, 2.6.12, 2.6.17, etc, but no 2.6.9-5.0.5EL I'm looking for). So where can I download the 2.6.9-5.05EL kernel I badly need? :sad:
Alternatively, how about kernel 2.6.9-11 or 2.6.9-22? The
ASMLib download site provides kernel drivers for such version numbers. Where could I find those kernels?
Or how about using a kernel version
much higher than the version specified in the ASMLib driver? For example, if I'm using linux kernel 2.6.17, can I install the ASMLib driver for kernel 2.6.9.5-05EL successfully?
Thanks,
