Forgive me if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I am unable to bring up Xen on Redhat 4.0 because of a missing initrd module. I''ve tried creating a new initrd (with mkinitrd) but it complains about missing mpt modules which do not appear to be built in the src tree (2.0.4). Is there something simple I''m missing here?

Ah, your problem is a common one. Basically you need to rebuild the kernel and add support for your scsi card. To do this do the following: - go into linux-?-xen0 dir - type "make menuconfig ARCH=xen" - under Device Driver --> Fusion MPT device support .. you will need to compile these as module - type "make ARCH=xen" - type "make ARCH=xen modules_install" - type "make ARCH=xen install" - create your new initrd and your set On Wed, 2005-03-09 at 12:18 -0800, Kevin Fox wrote:> Forgive me if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I am unable to > bring up Xen on Redhat 4.0 because of a missing initrd module. > I''ve tried creating a new initrd (with mkinitrd) but it complains about > missing mpt modules which do not appear to be built in the src tree (2.0.4). > > Is there something simple I''m missing here? > > TIA > Kev > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide > Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users. > Discover which products truly live up to the hype.
