Matt, thanks for your reply.
I did go change my kernel and I was able to compile and install the drbd
module on server0 - now I can't on server1, even though it's running the
exact same kernel, because it won't install the right version of gcc.
I tried yum install kmod-drbd and that's what it gave me. yum doesn't seem
to care if the versions match.
So I did a make rpm...
You have now:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 212405 Mar 18 11:11
dist/RPMS/i386/drbd-8.3.4-3.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1012695 Mar 18 11:11
dist/RPMS/i386/drbd-km-2.6.18_8.1.15.3.1.el5xen-8.3.4-3.i386.rpm
Looks nice, but I have drbd-8.3.6 installed... oops. So I downloaded the
source for drbd-8.3.6
Well wouldn't ya know it
make module does not work
make rpm does not work
/usr/bin/rpmbuild -tb \
--define "kernelversion " \
--define "kdir /usr/src/linux" \
\
drbd-8.3.6.tar.gz
error: Macro %kernelversion has empty body
error: Macro %kernelversion has empty body

make: *** [rpm] Error 1
So now what? The rpm build seems to only work with 8.3.4...
I noticed in the 8.3.6 Makefile, module: and rpm: are prefaced by .PHONY:
.. so how do I get around this?
Or can I just install the
drbd-km-2.6.18_8.1.15.3.1.el5xen-8.3.4-3.i386.rpm on both machines and be
done with it?
Thanks for your help
Chris

drbd 8.3.6, drbd kernel module 8.0.16. 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.

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.
