Dear all,
I have just subscribed this mailing list and sent mail to linux-vger.kernel.org but this seems that I am missing omething, because I cant see my mail on the list and also have no idea whether this is the right place to discuss or not, if not please excuse me, if yes than please help. I have an IBM e-server and have installed redhat 7.1 with kernel 2.4.2, now when I am trying to upgrade the kernel I am unable to do so. This has the SCSI HDD and controller aic7xxx. I am upgrading the new kernel 2.4.10 now when I start compiling the kernel every things goes ok but when I makes the initrd image it gives different errors, like
modules for aic7xxx not found or all loopback devices busy
I am selecting all the options in the kernel compilation as per my knowledge and adopting the ways defined to compile, I have compiled the same kernel on an IDE drive and is working fine and did not gave any error, but on scsci I am very badly stuck, I can make the initrd image from the old modules directory and define in the lilo.conf with the new kernel it works. Once I was successful in making the initrd image through the new kernel module directory but this was of no use, because when I rebooted the machine there was a kernel panic
So guruz please if u can help me in resolving this problem, I am not sure that whether I am selecting the wrong choices in the kernel compilation or there is something else. Also when I compared the old module directory which was of the default installed kernel and which I compile are quite different.
Looking for help
Talha
