Issue with KERNEL 2.6.36

[Pierre-Henry DELIEGE]

Hello all,

I need your help because I'm a little bit lost after spending 2 days reading this group and other documents on the web.

 

Here is my issue:

We have created our own Linux distribution using LFS (kernel 2.6.36.4) and it's working pretty good. Yeaaahhh !

We would like to implement the open-iscsi in this distribution but we are running into a lot of problems and questions.

 

First issue we had was during the compilation of open-iscsi (open-iscsi-2.0-872). We had an error at the Kernel_check and we had to patch the Makefile to support kernel 2.6.36 (the Makefile was limited to version 2.6.35). We have added the following line:

“linux_2_6_36: $(unpatch_code)”

After this patch, we were able to compile everything and we got the kernel module files and the user modules.

 

The kernel modules are:

kernel/scsi_transport_iscsi.ko

kernel/libiscsi.ko          

kernel/libiscsi_tcp.ko     

kernel/iscsi_tcp.ko

 

On the distribution based on the kernel 2.6.36.4, there are already the following kernel modules:

kernel/libiscsi.ko          

kernel/libiscsi_tcp.ko     

kernel/iscsi_tcp.ko

 

So we renamed them to use the new ones created as we have read somewhere.

 

But when we try to launch the modprobe -q iscsi_tcp, we receive an error message concerning scsi_transport_iscsi.

(If we try to launch the old module already present on the distro, no error message !!!)

 

What did we do wrong ?

Any hints to resolve our issue ?

 

Thanks in advance for your support.
