Hi,
I can't find a list with all available modules...
Can somebody get me a list of them with description of the modules like in the manual the USE flags explained or something like that.
That would be very helpfull...
Sorry when I searched wrong but I can't find them..

| Can you be a bit more specific? What do you mean with modules? Do you mean kernel modules? |

| The available modules are the ones that you built when building the kernel and you selected while configuring the kernel. Since that is different for every user, there can't be a list of available modules. |

So I booted the livecd and I couldn't see my sda ...
I had to do:
modprobe mptbase
modprobe mptscsih
How do I build those in the kernel ??

I'll check on my machine when I'm home, I'm at work now (Windows  ) Have you ever built the kernel by hand or did you use genkernel? |

well .. used genkernel twice ... once tried manual but that went wrong unfortunally
and first time setup on the scsi machine ... it's the LSI 1030 Ultra320 SCSI-controller which is in the Dell PowerEdge 1750

The Linux x86 doc briefly explains how to manually configure and compile the kernel:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml
Reference that document for how to configure and compile the kernel.
When you get inside the kernel to select options, you will need to do this as well:
Go down to the "Fusion MPT Device Support"
My recommendation is to press "Y" to compile the support into the kernel instead of as a module.I'm not a big fan for compiling system critical drivers as modules.
| Code: | <*> Fusion MPT (base + ScsiHost) drivers
(40) Maximum number of scatter gather entries (NEW)
< > Enhanced SCSI error reporting
< > Fusion MPT misc device (ioctl) driver
< > Fusion MPT LAN driver |
I recommend reading every one of those options to decide what ever else you may want to do.But, you shouldn't have to change any of the other Fusion MPT options to get it working.
Then you'll need to mount /boot, copy the bzImage over from /usr/src/arch/i386/boot/bzImage, edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf unless you are using LiLo, and reboot. All of this is also explained in the x86 Install doc. |
