Thank you,

I posted this in the Hardware forum more than a week ago but not a response, so I'm hoping....

Trying to install drivers for Highpoint Technology's RR2310 RAID card as a data drive. Following the simple instructions from HT seems to go well. Typeing

sudo sh .install.sh

returns:

The disk you insert is for linux kernel 2.6
Update initrd file /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic for 2.6.28-11-generic
Please reboot the system to use the new driver module.

When I reboot things are as before: no array; the individual drives are fdisked as singles with no partition table.

When I check uname -r, I see the Ubuntu 9.04 kernel is 2.6.31-19-generic.
In /boot there are initrd files 2.6.28... 11, 15, 16, & 17 and 2.6.31... 16, 17, 19 & 22.

The card BIOS shows the array is 'NORMAL' and lspci shows the card:

I appreciate any and all help.
Thank you.

So you have 8 kernels installed on the system ? If you are running 2.6.31-19-generic, why have you still got all the 2.6.28 kernels ?

It tells you what it's done, [ Update initrd file /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic for 2.6.28-11-generic ] but when you reboot, which kernel are you booting to --- ? The one without the drivers !

Try selecting the 2.6.28-11-generic kernel when you boot, and see if the drivers are loaded there. If they are and it works, you need to get the driver installed to the 2.6.31-19-generic kernel. The easiest way is to remove the old kernels.

Another way is to build the kernel module yourself.

Use the open source driver package from this page and follow the instructions in the README. You can then specify which kernel to build against.

Alternatively, use the pre-built kernel module and follow the instructions in Chapter 3 of the manual
