[rhn-users] qlogic 2300 attached luns not enabled with 2.4.21-32.EL

Tue May 24 21:54:43 UTC 2005

Hi Ray,

Please try the following steps to verify your initrd contents:

cp initrd.version.qlogic.img /temp
cd /temp
mv initrd.version.qlogic.img initrd.version.qlogic.img.gz [just change the extension]  
gunzip initrd.version.qlogic.img.tgz
mount -o loop initrd.version.qlogic.img /mnt/temp
cd /mnt/temp
ls

cd to lib directory and then check for qla2300.o file

let us know if you need help!!

Cheers,
Raj
