kernel update and drbd and heartbeat

[dp7885]

Hi, need a little help. This is probably something really easy but I'm not real familiar with kernel modules.

I was running kernel - 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 and I had drbd and heartbeat loaded and working from an RPM from ATRPMS and Fedora Extras resp., so I had the primary half of my HA cluster running.

So the nightly YUM update happens and I get kernel 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5. "Cool!", I say to myself, so I reboot... OOOPs, now the kernel can't find the drbd driver and my disk won't mount up. Heartbeat tries, but since drbd isn't there, it gives up. "Hmmm", I say to myself, "that's not good", So, just for giggles I reboot the old kernel. Sure enough, heartbeat and drbd come right up and viola, the primary side of the cluster starts working. So, I scratch my head and go looking for where the drbd driver is, and I find it at /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2080_FC5/updates/drivers/block/drbd.ko... with no corresponding files at /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2096_FC5/updates.

So I copy the older drivers/block/drbd.ko the the new directory tree and reboot... same thing, kernel can't find the driver and my disk won't mount since lsmod no longer shows the drbd module.

What did I miss? (A yum -update drbd gives me the ol' "nothing to do' message.)

(Oh, by the waw this is x86_64 on an AMD Opteron, not that I think that's the issue.)

Thanks ahead of time.

I've had similiar problem with NVIDIA drivers.
Just uninstall these old kernel modules, download 2096 specific, and install over the new kernel.

Regards

Update: In case that the new precompiled modules for FC5 are not available, just download its sources and compile them.

ok, well i can't figure out how to rebuild from the ATRPMS repository so i went to drbd,org got the tarball from there, followed the instructions and now i get a "Invalid module format" anybody know what this is about?

by the way the invalid module format happens after a "modprobe drbd"
