[lustre-devel] CentOS 6 - Build problems with kmod

[Ben Evans]

When I ran into the problem, I did an rpm -I --nodeps and it worked fine.  The errors you are seeing are dependencies listed in the RPMs, not ones used by the actual .ko's.

I spent some time trying to dig up where the 'kmod-' prefix for all the kernel symbols was getting inserted, but couldn't track it down.

Chris,


I agree with your contention about the kernel symbols, that's why I rebuilt from scratch and reinstalled.  Just did it again.  Still getting the error.

Yes, but this process doesn't produce anything other than the kernel RPM.

Yes.  It's the newest and it's what's booted.


So, does anyone have any insight in to what needs to change in the documented build process so I can build and install Lustre on CentOS 6?  (ldisksfs, not ZFS, so I must build the kernel)  It seems likely that I'm missing some symbol RPMs or similar, but kernel-syms is a SuSE only thing, I believe.  I believe Intel is still building and installing ldiskfs Lustre on CentOS 6, so there must be something...?
