[Xen-users] Include ThirdLevel Driver into Xen Kernel
Hi All, My Problem, i need a newer Driver that Support my 3ware Raid Controller I downloaded the SRC xen-3.0.3-testing-src.1.tgz, with Kernel 2.6.16, and i try: # make world So, i downloaded the SRC from the Distributor with the new Driver for Kernel 2.6.16, extract it and Copy the Files: 3w-9xxx.h -> XENSOURCE/linux-2.6.16.29-xen/drivers/scsi/ 3w-9xxx.c -> XENSOURCE/linux-2.6.16.29-xen/drivers/scsi/ then: # cd XENSOURCE/linux-2.6.16.29-xen/ # make # make install no errors, and all good, the new files are copied under: # /boot Ok, start with the new Kernel .... Error: # Kernel Panic ... Cannot open root device sda3 .... I can see in the Bootprocess that the 3ware Controller was successfuly detected ... Booting with standart Kernel 2.6.19 on sda3 looks good. Mhh. I think that Xen not load my new Driver. What''s wrong? Thanks for help.

Hi there, I got the exact same problem with Areca Raid controler. All you have to do is to include the driver''s in the initrd so that it loads at boot. do the following : depmod -a mkinitramfs (or mkinitrd, depending on your system) -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16.29-xen 2.6.16.29 (of course change the kernel name & versions to fit your installation) then add the following line in grub : module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16.29-xen after the vmlinuz line. Tell me if it works, Regards, maybee@gmx.de a écrit :> Hi All, > > My Problem, i need a newer Driver that Support my 3ware Raid Controller > > I downloaded the SRC xen-3.0.3-testing-src.1.tgz, with Kernel > 2.6.16, and i try: > > # make world > > So, i downloaded the SRC from the Distributor with the new Driver for > Kernel 2.6.16, extract it and Copy the Files: > > 3w-9xxx.h -> XENSOURCE/linux-2.6.16.29-xen/drivers/scsi/ > 3w-9xxx.c -> XENSOURCE/linux-2.6.16.29-xen/drivers/scsi/ > > then: > > # cd XENSOURCE/linux-2.6.16.29-xen/ > # make > # make install > > no errors, and all good, the new files are copied under: > > # /boot > > Ok, start with the new Kernel ....

I am using 4 Controllers 3w9500 with 8 and 16 ports but curently not with Xen.
