Hi, I just can't make this controller work with this kernel.
Server has centos 5.1 2.6.18-53.el5 #1 SMP Mon Nov 12 02:14:55 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux kernel.
First I tried was to copy updates or kernel/driver/scsi/ .ko driver from the actual kernel, witch boots ok, to the new one hypervm install, mkinitrd -v -f, but kernel panic on reboot.
Next I tried to compile the driver, rpm devel from new kernel, yum install gcc, make -f Makefile, copy the new ko, mkinitrd, same result.
So, I dumno how to handle this.
Boot.log is empty, messages has no relevant info and it seems that kernel should support 9690SA:
Changes
* re-based on the 2.6.18-53.1.19.EL5 Red Hat kernel
o fixed CVE-2008-1669
o fixed CVE-2008-1375
o fixed CVE-2008-0007
o fixed CVE-2006-6921
* updated 3w-9xxx driver to the 2.26.08.003 version (it now provides support for 3ware SAS 9690SA RAID controllers)
* fixed occasional CT stop error with message: "unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free"
Any help on this will be wellcome, thx.
Regards
Mike

Hi Mike,
could you please let me know
1) which kernel works fine with your controller?
2) please, send me `lspci`, `lspci -n`
3) do you have / on that controller? If yes, please, check if you can setup a serial console on that node (COM-to-COM cable to another node) - that can greatly help
Thank you.

If your problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...

BTW, that is normal - binary modules that suite for RHEL/CentOS kernel are binary incompatible with OVZ kernels.

02:00.0 RAID bus controller: 3ware Inc Unknown device 1005 (rev 01)
02:00.0 0104: 13c1:1005 (rev 01)
Ok, it looks like 3w-9xxx.ko module should handle this device fine.

Don't understand what you mean. I have a kvm pluged on that server.

well, i meant that i need to save complete boot logs, so i can see _all_ the logs, not only the last screen.
Some KVMs also allow to scroll back, does your KVM provide such a possibility?
If no, please, try to configure a serial console.
http://wiki.openvz.org/Remote_console_setup#Serial_console
One more thing you can check yourself before the serial console installation: check that 3w-9xxx.ko module is in initrd for 2.6.18-53.1.19.el5.028stab053.14 kernel.
(in order to do this, you need to unpack initrd: add a ".gz" suffix to initrd file (or its copy), gunzip it; then run "cat initrd_file | cpio -id").
Hope this helps.

Hi again, not my kvm. Also I have not phisical access to the server, unless I drive 400 Km.
|
Well, that's not good. Can you please at least do a printscreen from the KVM when the kernel panics?
Can you also provide me an access to the node via PM? i do not promise i can understand the problem without logs but i'll try to.

Mike, thank you for the access, i've got the reason - you have tried to install an OVZ kernel of different architecture than the OS itself. And now you have some mix of arches. Look:
[root@aaa ~]# rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name} %{version} %{release} %{arch}\n" | grep kernel
kernel-headers 2.6.18 92.1.6.el5 x86_64
kernel 2.6.18 53.el5 x86_64
kernel-devel 2.6.18 53.1.21.el5 x86_64
ovzkernel-devel 2.6.18 53.1.19.el5.028stab053.14 x86_64
ovzkernel 2.6.18 53.1.19.el5.028stab053.14 x86_64
kernel 2.6.18 53.1.21.el5 x86_64
kernel 2.6.20 ovz007.1 x86_64
kernel-devel 2.6.18 92.1.6.el5 x86_64
ovzkernel 2.6.18 53.1.19.el5.028stab053.14 i686
[root@aaa ~]# rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name} %{version} %{release} %{arch}\n" | grep vzctl
vzctl-lib 3.0.22 1 i386
vzctl 3.0.22 1 i386
vzctl-lib 3.0.22 1 x86_64
vzctl 3.0.22 1 x86_64
[root@aaa ~]# rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name} %{version} %{release} %{arch}\n" | grep quota
quota 3.13 1.2.3.2.el5 x86_64
vzquota 3.0.11 1 x86_64
vzquota 3.0.11 1 i386
Please, remove i386 arch rpms and reinstall 64bit ones - this should help.
