Topic: Segmentation fault with insmod osst

[Gerard Mokkenstorm]

hi all,

I just made a fresh install of SME 5.5
The only thing i changed was the workgroup name
no blades, no rpms...

following Kelvin's howto for installing the onstream tapedrive i updated the osst.o file, gave it exactly the same rights as the original one

but when i ' insmod osst' i simply get an 'Segmentation fault'

anybody know whats going wrong or wat i am doing wrong ?

The server setup is:
PII350MMX
64Mb
Maxtor 20GB HDD
40x IDE cdrom
DI30 Onstream drive

In addition to above:

searching for an explanation or solution, i searched the onstream site...

There is something mentioned about specifying the position of the drive on the IDE bus before compiling...

Does it matter where the drive is ?

I have mine on secondary channel slave....

( ill probally try to change that if my downgrade to 5.1.2. does not work.....

I would make sure you have it as the master on what ever channel you want to use.  That is where I have had the most luck.

Nahh, didn't help

i tries all possible combinations....

5.1.2 and 5.5, both slave and master..

I recon its a hardware thing.... trying to swap server hardware tomorrow.....
maybe better luck....

thanks anyway....

hints still welcom....

Just a thought, you might want to update the firmware on the drive.

As I was putting together the following HowTo, I remembered that I did update my firmware a while ago.  It might help this issue.  Just a thought.

nope...

I have a DI30 Fast and there are no firmware revisions available fot this model
it is having revision 4.11

I saw on the linux pages at www.onstream.com a update to 4.12 but only available for the linux updater...and thats my problem...

i have to get it to work first an then update.....but it wont work.....
keeps on giving segmentation fault.....

still on it...

I don't think you have to overcome the segmentation fault to update the firmware.

You might just try it with out it.

Ill go and try that..

As soon as my own PC is working again...i think it gave his last breath....
(who Murphy ? )

Ass soon as i have any result, ill come back here...
