Hi all,
I am installing drbd-8.2.6-3.2.x86_64.rpm on SLES 10 SP2.
First I installed the rpm. It installed without errors. I configured and
prepared the resource without a problem.
#### BUT ####
modprobe -l drbd
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.16.60-0.21-default/modules.dep:
No such file or directory
_My installation - step-by-step_
I then used the installation procedures on www.drbd.org. drbd does not run:

--== Creating metadata ==--
As with nodes, we count the total number of devices mirrored by DRBD at
at http://usage.drbd.org.
The counter works anonymously. It creates a random number to identify
the device and sends that random number, along with
DRBD's version number, to usage.drbd.org.

Step 7. Attach to backing device

*drbdadm attach r0
No response from the DRBD driver! Is the module loaded?
Command 'drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 disk /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1 internal
--set-defaults --create-device --on-io-error=detach' terminated with
exit code 20

Step 8. Checking if drbd is running:
LE10:~/Local-Data/Downloads/drbd-8.2.6-3.2.x86_64 # modprobe -l drbd
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.16.60-0.21-default/modules.dep:
No such file or directory
#### NOT RUNNING ####
Step 8. Maybe installation did not work properly on x86_64 system ??

modprobe -s drbd
Log in Syslog:
modprobe: FATAL: Could not load

Any Ideas?
TIA
