I've responded to another thread of yours.

Hi Nick,

I hope you could help me again. My previous install finished in a dead end Can't make flexshare works.

And because I'm very lucky the fresh install on COS 6.6 failed.

So I've got a fresh install on COS 6.5 and trying to get kernel source for my release :

[root@home yum.repos.d]# uname -r

2.6.32-431.1.2.v6.x86_64

As described in this thread.

If you've got any suggestion... I'll be glad to here it from you.

Obviously it's working better with the right package name.

Any idea on how to rebuild LVM metadata when boot disk has been lost ?
=>
Well it's seems there is nothing to do.
I can see all my LV using lvs....

Thanks for saving my week-end. My wife thank you very much also...

Doing some searching, does lvm2 provide what you want? This link appears to show it does. If so:

yum install lvm2

Yes, I found the menu and now I'm on ClearOS 6.6

Thanks all my disk seams to be visible.

But I still do not have any LVM information...
LVM is not installed : command pvscan or pvs do not exists

When you reboot you get three or five seconds to hit enter when a message pops up. Do that then select the other kernel at the menu which will appear. Alternatively edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and change the "default" to the correct entry in the list or change the order the kernels appear then reboot.

Hi,

That what I've tought but this is my third reboot with no change at all..
I have to re-install this driver then re-install LVM (that is no longer present) and recover or rebuild lvm.conf that have be lost with boot disk....
All family picture and video was stored on those LVM VG... :-s

Bad trip...

If you reboot, ClearOS should switch to the later kernel for which you already have the headers and devel packages It may then work.

If you wanted to do a full installation of the development packages, see here, but you may not need it with the packages you already have. It would have the advantage of setting up a specific user for building which is safer than building as root.

Hi again,

I've got a boot disk failure and I'm reinstalling ClearOS 6.5.
I still have the same troubles.
First Kernel is :

[root@home partial]# uname -r

2.6.32-431.1.2.v6.x86_64

But kernel seams to exists in 2 versions :

[root@home partial]# rpm -qa | grep ^kernel

kernel-2.6.32-431.1.2.v6.x86_64

kernel-2.6.32-504.8.1.v6.x86_64

kernel-firmware-2.6.32-504.8.1.v6.noarch

kernel-headers-2.6.32-504.8.1.v6.x86_64

kernel-devel-2.6.32-504.8.1.v6.x86_64

I've donwloaded driver from here : http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/product_support_sas6.htm
the driver for Rocket 2720SGL (v4.0.0.1528N) http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS_Driver/R272x/Driver/linux_4.0.0.1528N_source.tgz

I've untar the file, go to directory partial and run "make" as indicated in the readme.partial and go this error :

[root@home partial]# make

here is the full readme file :

Marvell 61xx/64xx Controller Linux Open Source Driver
---------------------------------------------------------

1. Introduction
2. Build driver
3. Build the driver into kernel
4. Note
---------------------------------------

1. Introduction
---------------

This is the partial linux kernel driver source code for Marvell SATA
controllers. Current version of the source only supports 2.6 kernel.


2. Build driver
---------------

2.1 Make sure kernel source/headers is ready.

Depending on your need, you may want to build a driver for the running
kernel of your host machine, or you might want to build drivers for other
versions of kernel. In both cases, you should have the source code of the
kernel installed. For example, you should launch yast and install the
'kernel-source' package if you're using SuSE Linux (including SLED/SLES ).

To build the module, you also should know where the kernel source is.
For SuSE Linux and Red Hat, the source to the running kernel can be found
at /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build. If you want to build driver for a
customized kernel, make sure your user account have the access to the
source.

2.2 Build the driver

If you're building driver for a kernel other than the running one, you
should let driver source know the path to the kernel source before issuing
make. You have two ways of issuing make command:

1) Set the shell environment variable 'KERNEL_SRC' to the path to
kernel source for which you want to build the driver. Suppose the
source is located at /usr/src/linux, then execute the following
command:

# export KERNEL_SRC=/usr/src/linux
# make

2) Specify the KERNEL_SRC in the invocation of make command:

# make KERNEL_SRC=/usr/src/linux

Watching the sources being compiled, and when it stops, you're done.

Note :
Make sure the kernel source is properly prepared for external module
building. Execute 'make modules_prepare' in the kernel source
directory if you haven't done so.

2.3 Install the driver.

If the module is named as mv61xx.ko,to install the driver, you type:

# insmod mv61xx.ko

If the module is named as mv64xx.ko,to install the driver, you type:

# insmod mv64xx.ko

3. Build the driver into kernel
-------------------------------

3.1 Make sure you have the complete kernel source installed.

To patch a kernel tree, you'll need the complete source to the linux
kernel. Also you'll need to verify that you have the write permission on
the source directory.


3.2 Patch the source.

Change working directory to the driver source code, type:*
# export KERNEL_SRC=/usr/src/linux
# make $KERNEL_SRC kbuild

You should substitute '/usr/src/linux' with the absolute path to the
kernel source directory.

You can always rewind the patch by using the following command:

# make $KERNEL_SRC ukbuild

3.3 Build the kernel

Now you can start kernel configuration process, follow the normal kernel
building process, which varies on different linux distributions and is not
covered here. then you can configure the driver into kernel during the
kernel configuration process (e.g. "make menuconfig").

Below is an example to make and install a kernel with the driver built-in:
# export KERNEL_SRC=/usr/src/linux
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make mrproper
# make menuconfig

Select "Device Drivers --->" and press enter.
Select "SCSI device support", then press 'Y' to make it built-in.
Select "SCSI disk support" then press 'Y' to make it build-in.
Select "SCSI low-level drivers --->" and press enter.

Select "Marvell Storage Controller 9180/9480" and press 'Y'.
or
Select "Marvell Storage Controller 6320/6340/6440/6450/6480" and press 'Y'.

Exit and save the kernel configuration.
# make dep
# make clean
# make bzImage
# make modules
# make modules_install
# make install

Now mv94xx/mv64xx driver will be built into kernel image. Note that
mv94xx/mv64xx driver depends on SCSI and SCSI disk support, so you should
also build them as part of the kernel ( not as modules ). Then you can
reboot from the new kernel.

4. Note
-------

* We've tested the patch successfully against kernel 2.6.16 and upward.

Groupinstall seams to no longer works on 6.5

Thanks I've open an issue at HighPoint and waiting for the answer...

Thanks for your advice that helps me to go futher

I have no idea. Googling "him_rr272x.o" only gives 2 useful hits and "him_rr272x.o.cmd" 3. Up to you to decide. Your best support option would be with RR.

I've done your script and get the same error :

Should I ignore this wraning ? and do

make install

Why not do something like:

mkdir /usr/src/temp

cd /usr/src/temp

wget http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS_Driver/rr272x_1x/Linux/RR272x_1x-Linux-Src-v1.4-120424-1752.tar.gz

tar -xvzf RR27*.gz

cd rr272x_1x-linux-src-v1.4/product/rr272x/linux

make

etc .....

If you do not have wget installed do a:

yum install wget

The README will be in /usr/src/temp/rr272x_1x-linux-src-v1.4

[edit]
I've just tried it in my play VM and get the same error as you. Just trying now in 6.2.
[/edit]

[edit2]
Same issue on 6.2. You could try proceding with the make install or contact RR for support or google the error.
[/edit2]

You're right, first make do not works because path got a space in one of the directory.
And on local I've copied only a smal part o the drivers.

Now from /mnt/disk_secure_1/temp/rr272x_1x-linux-src-v1.4/product/rr272x/linux
Make return this error :

oups.. I forget. I've done this late last night.
I'll do untar tonight and let know if it's OK

Did you untar the file in ClearOS or are you still using the files you got by unpacking in Windoze?

Done, over 54Mo installed

Made make again and i've got te same error :

[root@home linux]# make

Makefile:16: ../../../inc/linux_64mpa/Makefile.def: No such file or directory

make: *** No rule to make target `../../../inc/linux_64mpa/Makefile.def'.  Stop.

thanks, I'll try tonight @ home.

For the build tools do a:

yum groupinstall development-tools

I would untar from ClearOS using the command "tar xvzf RR27*.gz"

I try to follow instructions in README but I was blocked on the first instruction :

1) Install kernel build tools (gcc, binutils, make, etc.)

I think I need a more detail tutorial on driver build on Linux, because "make" and "make install" seems to not have source or something like that...

I've made untar unsing winrar on my desktop connected to the linux drive using flexshare.
Do you think I should untar from clearos rather than from my desktop windows ?

Have you followed the README in the package (at the first level after you untarred it? I created folder, cd'd into it, did a wget of the file then unpacked it with a "tar xvzf RR27*.gz". a "cd /usr/src/test/rr272x_1x-linux-src-v1.4" took me to the README and a "cd /usr/src/test/rr272x_1x-linux-src-v1.4/product/rr272x/linux" took me to the folder where I ran the make command successfully. I don't want to go any further as I don't want to install the module.

I notice you have user permissions also directory content is different. How are you unpacking the gz file? Also have you tried running as root rather than as a user? Before running a "make" or after a "make clean", I get:

[root@ClearOS6_2 linux]# ls -la /usr/src/test/rr272x_1x-linux-src-v1.4/product/rr272x/linux

total 16

drwxr-xr-x 2 root 4294967294 4096 May 28 22:05 .

drwxr-xr-x 3 root 4294967294 4096 Apr 24 10:52 ..

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root 4294967294  477 Apr 24 10:52 Makefile

[edit]
I've just noticed from your kernel you're using ClearOS 5.2. I would expect the same but I'll give it a go tomorrow in my play 5.2 VM

I've downloaded the RR272x_1x-Linux-Src-v1.4-120424-1752.tar.gz because I've got a RocketRaid 2720 not a RocketRaid 2320 on this page.

At this point you should be in the folder /{something}/rr232x-linux-src-v1.8/product/rr232x/linux. From the folder you were in when you did the "make", can you post the output of:

pwd

rpm -qa | grep ^kernel

Note http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS_Driver/rr232x/Linux/rr232x-linux-src-v1.10-090716-0928.tar.gz is a later version of the driver
