The two really should match, no? And which /lib/modules/2.6.* dir did the module get installed in? If it got put in the wrong dir (possible) then modprobe won't find it. Where did the kernel module RPM come from? It has to be built against the kernel that's running, otherwise it won't work. > Any help would be much appreciated - do I have to build the module from > scratch? Building the kernel module from source should be pretty easy; just go into the drbd source dir and do "make rpm KDIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-blah" and you should get RPMs for userland and kernelspace drbd components. Not applicable to very recent kernels since drbd is now in the vanilla kernel source, but CentOS 5 doesn't have a recent kernel. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see
