Hi All,
Iam using the *drbd-8.2.6.tar *to install drbd on my redhat linux system.

# uname -r
2.6.9-5.EL

 ls /usr/src/kernels/
2.6.9-5.EL-hugemem-i686  2.6.9-5.EL-i686  2.6.9-5.EL-smp-i686

make rpm KDIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-5.EL-smp-i686
make rpm KDIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-5.EL-i686
make rpm KDIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-5.EL-hugemem-i686
I have build the following rpms for the latest available kernel.
You have now:
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 190137 Jan  3 13:47
dist/RPMS/i386/drbd-8.2.6-3.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 106468 Jan  3 13:47
dist/RPMS/i386/drbd-debuginfo-8.2.6-3.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 737293 Jan  3 13:46
dist/RPMS/i386/drbd-km-2.6.9_5.EL-8.2.6-3.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 739120 Jan  3 13:47
dist/RPMS/i386/drbd-km-2.6.9_5.ELhugemem-8.2.6-3.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 739101 Jan  3 13:44
dist/RPMS/i386/drbd-km-2.6.9_5.ELsmp-8.2.6-3.i386.rpm

and installed these RPMS and configured the drdb.

however,when I try to start the drbd iam getting the following error.
*Starting DRBD resources:    Can not load the drbd module.*

drbd.conf:

cat /etc/drbd.conf

  on node2 {

    device        /dev/drbd0;
    disk          /dev/sdc5;
    meta-disk     internal;
  }
}

drbdadm create-md  drbd_mysql ---done.
