I have supermicro blade system. I am trying to install openvz on CentOS 5.2 / 5.1. Both of them failed when loading the SCSI driver from initrd. The SCSI Controller is megasr:

# lspci
LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 8208ELP/8208ELP

From lsi.com, there is an RHEL 5 driver. But in binary form.
http://www.lsi.com/DistributionSystem/AssetDocument/support/ downloads/megaraid/sas/software_drivers/linux/11.02_RedHat5. zip

With original kernel shipped with both CentOS 5.1 and 5.2, the SCSI controller work fine. but when i install ovzkernel and than recreate the initrd files, it can't boot. the error is (see attachment):

Loading megasr.ko module
megasr: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
insmod: error inserting '/lib/megasr.ko': -1 Invalid module format

I've searched this forum and found similar problem: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=32240&

But the RH5 shim driver is not available anymore from LSI.com. Can anyone help me ?

I've tried compile ovzkernel (rhel5 based) from source too, but with no luck Sad

any help is very very apreciated

thank you

DON'T download the latest megasr driver from lsi.com, download the archived version where it countain shim / open_source library for compiling with openvz kernel
