Greetings I've being trying to install Fedora 3 with Openssi 1.9.2 in a machine with processor Intel I3 and motherboard ASUS P7H55. Since both HD and DVD are SATA, I had to turn on IDE emulation on BIOS to be able to install Fedora 3. I have issues with the network card from this box with Fedora 3, since the kernel doesn't have the proper driver for it (Realtek 8168). I wasn't able to install OpenSSI since the setup script does expect a ethernet card and doesn't allow me to go further. Then I installed the kernel source from Fedora following the instruction here: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc3.html#kernelsrc to try to compile the driver downloaded from Realtek website. I wasn't able to compile the driver: the insmod finished with the error: r8168: Unknown symbol DMA_BIT_MASK. I believe this errors occurs because the driver was written for newer kernel versions and such function had it's name changed from the a previous name. Then I tried to install the Openssi kernel provided here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ssic-linux/kernel-ssi-2.6.10-ssi_3devel.src.rpm?download After compiling the kernel (using the config provided by the RPM package), I tried to boot it and try to compile the driver, but all my tries finished with a Kernel panic - not syncing: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Entering kbd (current=0xc19715b0, pid 2) on processor 0 due to KDB_ENTER() [0] kbd > I found some messages in the mailing list archive related to this error, and one of them commented about a patch that would need to be applied. Is this the same situation? The message is quite old (2005). Looks like I have the chicken and egg problem: I cannot install OpenSSI because I don't have a network card and I can't install the network because I don't know if the Openssi kernel will be able to allow me to compile the driver. Could please provide any help on that? I was able to boot with newer distributions (Ubuntu 10.04 and Fedora 11) and both recognize the network card.

Heya, Unless the driver explicitly supports 2.6.11 or so, you're going to have to do a significant amount of technical work to get it to compile. You'll have to change code from using newer OS APIs to older versions, or work around places where no counterpart exists. This is called "backporting". It would be a lot easier to stick an old 3com card in the machine. Is this the same machine where you can't even see the PCI bus? If so, virtualization is looking better and better. OpenSSI is pretty specific about how it boots. Do you still have the old grub.conf around? Put it back and re-run ssi-ksync. It *might* fix things up again. The list of things that could be mucked up is long and technical. Keeping good backups is probably the general solution here. You can try passing init=/boot/whatever-the-openssi-init-file-for-your-kernel-is and seeing if it comes up. If so, it should be a matter of fixing up the bootloader config and re-running grub.

Try the mkinitrd RPM from the OpenSSI for FC3 releases. About the network card driver if the CentOS 4 kernel supports that card you're in luck - once we release the OpenSSI modified CentOS 4 kernel. No time line on that, might be released around the same time as 2.0.0rc1 FC3 that comes with kernel-2.6.11. -Roger |
