Thanks for the enlightment.<br>
I manage to get the driver from the modules.gz archive and i made a new<br>
initframs using dracut --add-drivers but modprobe still cannot find it,<br>
possible that the module will indeed not work :/<br>
The error is saying :<br>
could not insert 'rr272x_1x' : Exec format error<br>

<br>
The driver was built incorrectly for this version of the system. Just<br>
why, I don't know. It did get put into the correct directory or<br>
modprobe/insmod wouldn't find it at all.<br>

Did i miss something? the driver is a .ko file<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Just because it's a .ko file doesn't mean it's compatible with a 4.x<br>
kernel. Odds are that it isn't. You should browse High Point's web<br>
site and see if there IS a version of that driver that's 4.x compatible.<br>
<br>
Sorry I can't be of more help.<br>

I just looked at High Point's website and they have driver source compatible with kernels up to 4.0.4. Dunno which kernel you're running.<br>
My F23 box is running 4.3.3-300, my F22 is running 4.2.8-200. They're<br>
both too new for that driver.<div><div class="h5"><br>

updating this, i did some testing on the sh file and i found<br>
where the<br>
issue is coming from.<br>
There is two for loops (at least two that concerns me) and the<br>
code<br>
inside is never executed.<br>
Condition is :<br>
for dir in [23].*;do<br>
[ -d $dir/kernel/fs ] || continue<br>
<br>
I'm a bit lost here, what is this 23 number? it cannot be fedora<br>
number<br>
as this driver is the open source version of the fedora 17<br>
driver.<br>
Pretty sure if i modify the condition with a correct one<br>
everything<br>
should work properly<br>
<br>
<br>
F17? Well, that's probably the issue. What you're seeing is an<br>
attempt<br>
to walk down the various /lib/modules/2.* and /lib/modules/3.* trees<br>
to install the driver. If you're on F22 or F23, you probably don't<br>
HAVE<br>
2.* or 3.* kernel trees. You have 4.x kernel trees.<br>
<br>
You could try changing that line from:<br>
<br>
for dir in [23].*; do<br>
<br>
To:<br>
<br>
for dir in [234].*; do<br>
<br>
That would include the 4.x kernel trees. I don't know if the<br>
module will<br>
work, though as it seems to be written for quite old kernels. YMMV<br>

Hello guys, got this weird error trying to install my raid<br>
driver :<br>
<br>
Start to install the driver rr272x_1x.ko of rr272x_1x.<br>
Finish installing the kernel module rr272x_1x.ko.<br>
Loading rr272x_1x driver module rr272x_1x<br>
modprobe: FATAL: Module rr272x_1x not found.<br>
<br>
Checked with lsmod driver does not appear tough the<br>
installation is<br>
finished (checked the sh file, modprobe is running at the<br>
end).<br>
After a little read of the sh file i can confirm that the<br>
driver is<br>
in /etc/rc.modules (it appears to be with sd_mod and that's<br>
all).<br>
chmod on rc.modules in the sh file is successfull (chmod<br>
755).<br>
The failing part seems to be this :<br>
<br>
elif [ "${MODULE}" = "rr272x_1x" -o "${MODULE}" =<br>
"rr274x_3x" -o<br>
"${MODULE}" = "rr276x" -o "${MODULE}" = "rr278x" ] ; then<br>
( cd /lib/modules/<br>
for dir in [23].*; do<br>
[ -d $dir/kernel/fs ] || continue<br>
if [ -f /boot/initrd-$dir.img ]; then<br>
mv /boot/initrd-$dir.img /boot/initrd-$dir.img.bak<br>
# do not include mvsas in initrd, as the udev and so will<br>
load the<br>
driver<br>
mkinitrd --builtin=mvsas /boot/initrd-$dir.img $dir<br>
elif [ -f /boot/initramfs-$dir.img ]; then<br>
mv /boot/initramfs-$dir.img /boot/initramfs-$dir.img.bak<br>
# do not include mvsas in initramfs, as the udev and so<br>
will load<br>
the driver<br>
dracut /boot/initramfs-$dir.img $dir<br>
fi<br>
done<br>
<br>
Can someone give me a hint on how to do what needs to be<br>
done? I'm<br>
not familiar with drivers on unix systems so i'm a bit<br>
lost, full sh<br>
file is attached if needed, thanks.<br>
<br>
