#14 modprobe fails on iscsi_sfnet Fedora Core 2

Everything seems to build okay, but when the module
tries to get installed it gives the following errors:

--------------

4.0.1.10 was tested with only 2.6.8.1. README is misleading
when it says 4.0.1.10 runs on a kernel 2.6.8.1 or later.

Please try using 4.0.1.11 with 2.6.10 kernel and let us know if
you face any problems.

we seem to have a bigger problem with fc* though. i cannot
seem to see how strdup is being defined in fc3 and I am not
sure what is the real cause of this problem on fc2. do you
have any ideas? we seem to be getting a lot of fc bugs.

I am not running 2.6.10 but 2.6.9 kernel.

I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.10 and iscsi to 4.0.2 and still
had same problem. Ended up having to download the complete
kernel source and building new kernel and compiling the
module with the kernel. I now have it loading okay.

You should be able to close out this ticket. Thanks.
