Error insmod Error inserting `/lib/raid456.ko` -1 File Exist
hi every one ,
Wondering if any of you experienced this During "Centos5.6" Boot .. !

1)NOT USING MMCONFIG
2)insmod Error inserting `/lib/raid456.ko` -1 File Exist

Dell PowerEdge T110 with 4sata Controllers with Centos2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen installed .

Code:
/boot on /dev/md0
/  on   /dev/md1

Regards

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512892 for more info and eventual fix Smilie

Rebuilding of the initrd may help.

thanks click , straight to the Point Smilie

but still can`t figure it out Smilie "specifically how to rebuild the initrd"
i`m still new to linux world , almost my 6th month ...

Yes, my bad for beeing so vain Smilie

To rebuild the inird you have to

Code:
# mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

Check the new initrd with

Code:
# ls  -l /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img

Then do
Code:
# cat /etc/grub.conf

and make sure that the the new initrd is there(it will be since you are not changing the version)

If that dosen`t help you should check /etc/sysconfig/modules/ for dublicate entrys for raid456.ko. If there is remove one of them as shown here

23.6. Persistent Module Loading

And rebuild the inird as shown above.

Be very careful with this, you can break things Smilie

at all brother , you did a great help .
- after backing up the /boot dir i did the following:-
Code:
 ls  -l /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img
ls: /boot/initrd.2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen.img: No such file or directory


tried ..
Code:
 ls /boot/ | grep -i initrd
                  May 25 08:19 initrd-2.6.18-238.el5xen.img
                  Jun  6 15:07 initrd-kernel_version.img
                  Jun  6 15:20 initrd-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen.img


then ..
[/code]
Code:
# mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
usage: mkinitrd [--version] [--help] [-v] [-f] [--preload <module>]

       (ex: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img 2.2.5-15)


strange ? i think i missed somthing here !
i tried without the -o option
Code:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
Modulefile is /etc/modprobe.conf

make sure its was successful ..
Code:
echo $?
0


Code:
 ls -a /boot/ | grep -i initrd
        May 25 08:19 initrd-2.6.18-238.el5xen.img

        Jun  6 15:20 initrd-2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen.img
        Jun  7 11:38 initrd.2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen.img

checking the grub.conf file ...
Code:

after booting up the system the problem was still there

i`v checked the /etc/sysconfig/modules/ and tried to remove is with the help of this URL u provided
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/sec-Persistent_Module_Loading.html
but i`m not sure where to place the code ...
Code:

if [ ! -c /dev/input/uinput ] ; then

Code:
        exec /sbin/modprobe uinput >/dev/null 2>&1

hoever i`m not sure which mod should i add to the previous code to get it unloaded from the kernel ..
Code:

Hi,

According the bug report which I`ve posted earlier this is happening because mkinitrd is adding duplicate entries for the raid456 in case you have more than 1 raid. This is bug in mkinitrd. Those entries should be added to /etc/sysconfig/modules/ because there is where modules are listed in order to be loaded on boot. Since one module cannot be loaded twice(this is what the error is telling) you won`t see duplicate modules with lsmod/modprobe. You have to check the files in /etc/sysconfig/modules/ and find 2 identical one then do chmod -x on one of them. This is at least how I understand this bug.

p.s.

Could you run

Code:
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

And post the output
