The steps taken when building this server:
- install CentOS 4.4 (minimal)
- Install Compaq SmartStart 7.7
- builds some drivers using the kernel sources
- Install OpenVZ:
- yum install ovzkernel-smp
- Throws: WARNING: No module cciss found for kernel 2.6.9-023stab040.1-smp, continuing anyway

Now when booting the host, I receive the above errors from messages. Am I missing something? Should I have installed the SmartStart drivers using the openvz kernel?

Thanks,
Axton Grams

There is a strange thing in your post. The step of "building some drivers using the kernel sources" goes before the step of "installing ovzkernel-smp". Drivers are always build against certain version of kernel. So, I guess, you should build them after ovz kernel is installed (and booted?)

However this doesn't explain the error...

Can you tell me, please, does CentOS 4.4 kernel with no additional drivers boot normally?

Thanks.

Also, please, try "noapic" option for the kernel.

The CentOS kernel does boot normally without the compaq drivers in place, though the devices are not fully functional (there is a tape drive attached to the scsi bus).

Chances are I need to start over and run the compaq smartstart installation, which builds the compaq drivers, after the openvz kernel is in place. I will do this tonight and post the results.

After I rebuild the machine, compiling the compaq drivers using the openvz kernel sources, I will try this if the issue persists.

Here are the results of the reinstall. Still get the warning that the cciss module does not exist when installing the openvz kernel. I need the cciss driver to use my tape drive.

Here is an update, I've isolated where the cciss errors are thrown:

I decided to not install the hp/compaq smartstart cd, but I did attempt to enable the st[0-9] devices:

[root@vz1 ~]# cat /etc/init.d/tape_st
#!/bin/sh
#
# chkconfig: 2345 91 1
# description: Creates the st[0-9] devices for sequential access devices and
#              medium changer devices on the cciss block device
#
for x in /proc/driver/cciss/cciss[0-9]*
do
        echo "engage scsi" > $x
done
[root@vz1 ~]# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/tape_st
[root@vz1 ~]# chkconfig --add tape_st

Once I did this and rebooted the system, I see the following in /var/log/messages:

As an extra validation, I disabled the tape_st init script:

[root@vz1 ~]# chkconfig --level 12345 tape_st off
[root@vz1 ~]# chkconfig --list|grep tape_st
tape_st         0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

I then rebooted the system to see if /var/log/messages repeats the errors, it does not.

I then manually started the tape_st service:

[root@vz1 ~]# service tape_st start

/var/log/messages then shows the following:

I then rebooted into the CentOS 4.4 kernel to see if I could reproduce the output there. I am able to.

I've come to the conclusion that the cciss driver bundled with the linux kernal is not the best driver available for the device. The HP driver is provided as an rpm ( http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/2 5360.html) but only supports a limited number of kernels. Attempting to install the rpm returns the following errors:

I'm out of ideas at this point as to the best solution to this predicament. I am open to ideas.

Thank you for the information.

I want to ask you for a few services:

1) please, do
# lspci
# lspci -n
and post output to us.
2) I still don't understand one thing. After the warnings, does the device in question work properly for you or not?
3) If it is possible, please install 028test015 kernel and check, does the warnings persist and does the device work.

We'll appreciate it very much,
Thanks in advance!

I noticed that the hp initrd created by the compaq smartstart includes the following kernel modules:

-rw-r--r--   1 root root  78232 Feb 17 17:24 cciss.ko
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  37916 Feb 17 17:24 dm-mirror.ko
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  71532 Feb 17 17:24 dm-mod.ko
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  25340 Feb 17 17:24 dm-snapshot.ko
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   7952 Feb 17 17:24 dm-zero.ko
-rw-r--r--   1 root root 140604 Feb 17 17:24 ext3.ko
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  74864 Feb 17 17:24 jbd.ko
-rw-r--r--   1 root root 148944 Feb 17 17:24 scsi_mod.ko
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  24620 Feb 17 17:24 sd_mod.ko

Not sure what most of these are or if they are needed. When comparing the CentOS and OpenVZ kernel .config's, it would appear that the CentOS build compiles scsi support as a module whereas OpenVZ compiles it into the kernel.

One other small bit, I downloaded the cciss driver src rpm from sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cciss/) and compiled a binary rpm, updated the openvz initrd to include the cciss.ko module, but still see the same.

# cd /usr/source/redhat/SPECS
# rpmbuild -bb cciss.spec
# rpm -Uhv --replacefiles /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/cpq_cciss-2.6.14-7.i386.rpm
<update openvz initrd, include cciss.ko in lib and update init to do insmod>

Ok, I almost have the test kernel installed, but I screwed up and missed the network driver when installing the stock 2.6.18 kernel; so I can't get the openvz test kernel onto the box very easily.

It looks like upgrading the kernel to 2.6.18.6 fixed the errors. I am guessing there was a driver update to the cciss driver that corrected some type of problem. The cciss driver in the 2.6.9 kernel is 2.6.10; the cciss driver in the 2.6.18.6 kernel is 3.6.10. I am going to back out at this point and install the latest stable openvz kernal and build a binary rpm for the 3.6.x cciss driver and see if that corrects the issue. I will post the results when I get them.

Here is an account of the process:

An update. Missed adding the bond module to /etc/modprobe.conf, that is why the network interfaces did not come up. Fixed that an installed the 2.6.18-ovz028test015.1-smp kernel. Bad news is that I get no output to /var/log/messages with the test kernel; no errors, no nothing. I am going to try buliding the cciss 3.6.10 driver with the latest stable kernel now.

The device is engaged using the following:

[root@vz1 tmp]# echo "engage scsi" > /proc/driver/cciss/cciss0
[root@vz1 tmp]# echo "engage scsi" > /proc/driver/cciss/cciss1

Unfortunately, it looks like neither the 3.6.10 or 3.6.14 cciss driver will build against the 2.6.9-023stab040.1-smp kernel. It looks like there were some updates in this area in the 2.6.16 or 13 kernel that this driver needs. See http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2005-11/6682 .html

Not too relavent, but the compile errors

Hello,

So, as far as I understand from your posts, on 2.6.18 OpenVZ kernels there is no problem with your device, am I right?

Thanks,
Vasily

On the 2.6.18 stock kernel (from kernel.org), the device engages properly and works fine. On the 2.6.18 OpenVZ kernel, the device will not register/engage.
