<0> the package
<1> Anyway, I followed the instructions on how to install the drivers by the book but it's still booting from the default kernel with no drivers
<2> catch them with your toes!
<1> Can anyone please help me switch the kernel and get this driver working?
<3> snopey, promise should be supported in current kernels
<3> what card is it ?
<2> yeah 2.6 > i believe?
<0> to update the whole puter do .# apt-get update then do apt-get upgrade

<0> walk away
<3> Digerati, no packages ...no support
<0> no worries
<0> all i need is mail and http
<3> are you dumb ?
<0> and ftp
<3> there is no support for redhat 9...what of that dont you understand ?
<3> even legacy sites stopped supporting it
<3> a while ago now
<0> what part of that makes you think i care about support
<1> OmegaEvil: is it supported by the current kernels?
<3> snopey, sec
<1> ta
<3> k sata2
<3> hmm
<3> snopey, what does uname -a say ?
<1> OmegaEvil, sec
<3> Digerati, no new packages ..means you arew running unpatched software...means secuirty holes
<3> and if you dont know that...then maybe go back to using winblows
<1> OmegaEvil: Linux 2.6.13-15.8-smp #1 SMP Tue Feb 7 11:07:24 UTC 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
<3> snopey, hmmm
<3> k
<1> it's an Athlon MP box
<0> im fine with it
<3> thats pretty newish....did ya compile the latest kernel ?
<3> Digerati, its not just about you...its about the users that get abused by your compromised system..
<1> OmegaEvil: Well, I installed OpenSuSE 10 a few days ago
<3> 2.616 is the latest stable 2.6
<1> OmegaEvil: I can't see the Promise (Napa) driver in dmesg though so I guess this kernel dosen't support it
<3> dmesg show the card ?
<3> lsmod will show the kernel modules
<1> OmegaEvil: No, it dosen't show
<3> if the card doesnt show in dmesg then make sure its propperly in the pci slot
<3> also do lspci
<1> OmegaEvil: the card is working properly
<3> does it show in lspci ?
<1> yes: 00:09.0 RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc.: Unknown device 6300
<3> for my promnise card i just compiled the ko and insmoded the ko
<5> promise cards are pita
<3> snopey, where are ya based ?
<1> OmegaEvil: cam you please tell me how?
<1> when I installed the driver it created a napa.ko file
<3> i would have to download the package ...
<0> <3> Digerati, its not just about you...its about the users that get abused by your compromised system..
<3> ahh
<0> dude relax about it
<0> its just me
<0> no users
<1> OmegaEvil: Norway
<3> how much did ya pay for it ?
<5> this is why I subject any hardware I buy to screening before I buy it
<1> OmegaEvil: about 200 euros
<3> Sh4dowcat, the hardware isnt the issue
<5> OmegaEvil: what is the issue?
<3> Promise always supports linux ..and always has
<3> snopey, cool
<3> i need one of those hehe
<3> k lets see
<1> hehe :)
<3> did ya try insmod napa
<3> ?
<5> OmegaEvil: his kernel might not have the module
<3> he compiled it
<5> or it needs a bunch of arguments
<3> totherwise he would have the napa.ko
<5> OmegaEvil: as a module or into the kernel?
<1> OmegaEvil: No, but isn't the driver install script supposed to do all that?
<3> no
<5> what driver install script?
<3> it would just build the kernel module
<5> OmegaEvil: btw it's modprobe
<3> im guessing here
<5> not insmod
<5> he's using 2.6
<3> Sh4dowcat, its the same damn thing
<5> no
<3> yes
<5> modprobe drags in dependencies
<5> insmod doesn't
<3> snopey, might wanna run depmod
<3> tbh I would have to download the promise ****
<3> but cant be bothered
<3> hehe
<5> lazy ***
<3> well you are welcome to do it Sh4dowcat
<5> I ain't helping him, YOU are :P
<3> well you were making remarks..
<1> dumb question, where's the kernels located in OpenSuSE?
<5> in /boot
<5> as in any other distro
<1> right
<1> I'm sure the driver install script installed another kernel, but I can't seem to find it again
<3> well Im loving this chan more and more
<3> ye
<3> b
<6> ...
<1> ?
<6> i dunno
<1> now what? :P
<6> snopey, afaik no driver would install another kernel for you
<6> thats up to you
<1> square: Ok, but the driver install must have done something
<6> whats the problem?
<1> no driver for my controller
<6> controller?
<1> I'm trying to install a new driver module for my Promise SATA RAID controller on my freshly installed OpenSuSE 10
<1> Promise FastTrak SX8300: http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?segment=RAID%205%20HBAs&product_id=148
<6> oh, never used raid sorry
<1> Ok, but there Promise got drivers available for SuSE 9.3
<1> so I guess they should be compatible?
<1> Anyone else that are eager to help a poor Linux noob like me? :)
<7> i would if i knew anything about the subject :)
<8> what happens when you try to load them
<7> so im mainly here for making the stupid questions :)
<1> anyweb: So far I've only followed promise's instructions on how to install the linux driver manually for an existing system
<1> the driver installed successfully it said, and I rebooted as instructed but nothing happened
<1> no driver, no go
<1> anyweb: Any ideas?
<9> snopey: where is this kernel module you're trying to install ?
<9> is it publicly available so we can look at it?
