Topic: osst.o in SME 5.5

[Gerard Mokkenstorm]

Hi all,

I am installing a Onstream DI30 tapedrive in my 5.5 server

Kelvins howto mentions that the osst.o is not the right version in 5.1.2
is this the same version in 5.5 ?

in other words, do i still have to update the osst.o ?

Hi Gerard,

As the modules depend on the kernel version, and since 5.5 and 5.1.2 both use the same kernel version, I would say that the updated osst.o driver I compiled will still be valid for 5.5.

Hi,

As stated in an onther topic, i get an error message when booting
It says :

etc/rc.sysint line 726 segmentation fault ... osst INIT
entering runlevel 7

the line number is different at my server, but it is the same message
i think it is from 'insmod ide-scsi'

Further, when i run the Makedevs.sh, i also get an error, like

not an valid identiefernr ?

Should i reinstall the server with 5.1.2 ? and wait for updated DI30 support ?
( ill have to wait, i cant do it myself.....)

Hi Gerard,

I just built a test SME 5.5 server and loaded ide-scsi and the osst.o module I compiled with no problems. It would appear that SME 5.5 already has the device nodes built in /dev and the Makedevs.sh script need not be executed.

Other than that, I really don't know what else could be causing your problem.

Thanks....

I think i just reinstall the server and try it again.....

Still one question...

Does it matter where exactly i place the two insmod lines in the sysinit script ?

i saw another reference to ide-scsi in the same script, does it have to be before or after that ?

I'm not an expert on that. However, I would say that it does matter because some other modules might have to be loaded before these two, I'm just not 100% sure.
