Andi Hechtbauer (anti-dotu) wrote : Workaround found: blacklist dpt_i2o

Since various sources suggested there may be a conflict between 2 kinds of i2o-modules in the kernel in SMP environments, I modified the initrd to include a "blacklist dpt_i2o" in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.

Now the kernel boots and seems to work ok, using only the i2o_core module.

What I did boils down to:

# zcat /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-20-686 | cpio -idvm
# echo "blacklist dpt_i2o" >> etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
# find . | cpio --quiet -o -H newc | gzip -9 > /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-20-686

(in an empty directory, first backing up the initrd, ...)
