 Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2024 5:57 pm Post subject: CCISS driver |
 |
|
I'm running some old HP hardware with the root device on the cciss raid controller. I've been on kernel 4.4 forever, but it's time to upgrade. The driver is not in 6.x kernel, but the driver is available at sourceforge.
Can I build this driver into the kernel or do I need to set up an initramfs with it? (Or third, easier option?)

Every device that was part of CCISS is now part of the HPSA driver in recent kernels. Use that instead.
Note all references that used to be /dev/cciss/ will become /dev/sd* instead. This is an important part of the upgrade process. |

Thanks. The device change explains why I can't get HPSA to work. (-:

FYI, kernel 6.1.67 was removed from the sources, you may want to update to 6.1.74.
