Hi all, After repeatedly failing to successfully compile the oss drive provided by HighPoint technologies for their RocketRAID 2320, I am questioning my assumptions re: module compilation. The last time I had to compile a module, the source was already resident on the machine and it was done so inconjunction with a kernel recompile before the days of Fedora releases.
Assumption 1. The unpacked code does not have to reside in the source tree. e.g. keeping it in a download direction should work okay.
Assumption 2. As I am only building one module and not all kernel modules associated with a kernel recompile, I do not have to go to the source directories and run 'make' and 'depmod -a' - although I have tried this also.
The HOW-TO on module building is dated 2006. Perhaps there is newer information that I have not been able to find. I hate to purchase another raid board to get this project going, but I am not having any luck.
The module rr232x.ko exists after an attempted compile, but after chmod +x, modprobe rr232x.ko has FATAL errors stating that it is not a module.

I would suggest you ask the vendor for support presumably they can make the stuff they shipped work.
You can build modules out of tree and the build system is specifically designed to handle this. It can even be automated (dkms etc)
