That's not surprising - it's built for the 2.2.16 included with RH7.0 :) You could force the loading of the module with "insmod -f <modulename>", however. > There is no access to source provided by Promise to rebuild it for the > new kernel. Help! Oh! I see it's a FastTrak. Return it (if you can) and get an Ultra100 (non-TX2) off eBay - if you choose not to use the very dangerous Promise-provided driver the FastTraks don't work worth a crap as a RAID controller with non-Windows operating systems. - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: 9BF9 D84C 37D0 4FA7 1F2D 7E5E FD94 D264 50DE 1CFC GPG key id: 50DE1CFC GPG public key: http://tux.creighton.edu/~pbrutsch/gpg-public-key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine iD8DBQE7N7Ky/ZTSZFDeHPwRApiCAKDVGPQeY6eyekv1IfdUxvhqFsanNQCeITVm z/MSAwnI9nnl6NH71/j6Rkk= =4bEw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
