Hello ,
I have patched the module update 0.9.13-pre and rebuilt kernel. However, the insmod is still complainthe same thing because the utility is still from 2.4.20-8. This driver module is not going to be loaded during the kernel boot. I want to use insmod to load the module. I tried load qla1280.o built with kernel and got the same result.
I think I may either need a new insmod utility to load the module, missed something or need to follow different procedure. Any idea from this point?
By the way, I am using RH 9.0 release as base system fo r2.5.72 upgrade.
Thanks!
Eddie
