That is for 8.1.1911. Is that what you're using? You will need a kernel<br>
<br>
4.18.0-147* to use that one. If you're on 8.0 then you need to use the<br>
<br>
older kmod with 8_0 in its name. If you're using Stream then, tough,<br>
<br>
there are no kmods for that as there is no stable KABI in beta kernels.<br>

Hi Jeff,<br>
<br>
In respect of your replys to Trevor, you have the right kmod package <br>
version for your kernel :-)<br>

<br>
Always try to use modprobe over insmod as modprobe will also load any <br>
required module dependencies.<br>

I'm guessing megaraid_sas is the right driver for your hardware, but the <br>
output from 'lspci -nn' showing the vendor:device ID pairing will tell <br>
us for sure.<br>
<br>
Red Hat disabled support for some older devices in megaraid_sas. Our <br>
megaraid_sas driver is built from thr RHEL source code with the RH <br>
patches reverted to reenable those devices, so the driver version will <br>
be identical.<br>

<br>
The fact the driver is located in /weak-updates/ tells you it's the <br>
elrepo driver. If it were in /kernel/drivers/scsi/ it would be the <br>
kernel driver. So all looks good here.<br>

OK, that doesn't look so great.<br>
<br>

<br>
No, you should not need to. The elrepo driver will override the stock <br>
driver. If you uninstalled the elrepo driver and modprobe'd the stock <br>
driver to load it, you should see very different output in /var/log/messages<br>
<br>
> - am i missing a kernel recompile step? or dracut?<br>
<br>
Are you trying to book from this device or are you booting from a <br>
separate device? If you are trying to boot from the device then we do <br>
need to ensure the driver is loaded in the initramfs<br>
<br>
> - do i need to install both mpt3sas and megaraid_sas?<br>

<br>
No, which ever driver is the correct driver for your hardware is the <br>
driver that you need. The device ID I asked for above will allow us to <br>
confirm that for you.<br>
<br>
