How can I compile kernel modules in pve 4.2.2.1 enterprise?

I have two drivers I need to compile support for. An iodrive2 and an external raid array which uses rocketraid (rr62x)
When I try to compile for the external raid array, I get:

Code:
~#make install
grep: /lib/modules/4.2.2-1-pve/build/include/linux/version.h: No such file or directory
expr: syntax error
../../../inc/linux/Makefile.def:85: *** Only kernel 2.4/2.6 is supported but you use 2..  Stop.
 
this is from my rocketraid driver install guide for proxmox :
Code:
apt-get update
aptitude search pve-headers
apt-get install <right header package>
apt-get install build-essential


cd /link/to/driver/
e.g. /home/rr64xl-linux-src-v1.3.11/product/rr64xl/linux
Code:
make
make install 
update-pciids
check if it is listed.
Code:
lspci

hope that helps you.
 
:(
I was hoping it would, but:

Code:
~#apt-get install pve-headers-4.2.2-1-pve

pve-headers-4.2.2-1-pve is already the newest version.

~/rr62x-linuxla-src-v1.0/product/rr62x/linuxla# make
grep: /lib/modules/4.2.2-1-pve/build/include/linux/version.h: No such file or directory
expr: syntax error
../../../inc/linux/Makefile.def:85: *** Only kernel 2.4/2.6 is supported but you use 2..  Stop.

Any ideas?
 
That looks like your driver only supports kernel 2.4/2.6
proxmox 3 uses afaik kernel 3.x
proxmox 4 uses kernel 4.x

can you post the exact description of your iodrive ?

In case of my Rocketraid 640L i had to contact Highpoint and ask for updated drivers (took 1 work day).
they will most likely send you an up-to-date version of their opensource drivers.
I do not know why they do not just update them on their website :p


anyways
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/websupport/
create an account there, add your device and open a support ticket.
basically ask em for drivers for "Debian Kernel 4.x"
 


FusionIo got bought by SanDisk. SanDisk is about to be bought by Western Digital.
Afaik support for that drive is done by San Disk now. If so, then https://link.sandisk.com/commercialsupport.html is your choice (need to register an account).

They might have up to date drivers there.

If not, you need to find out what controller they use (you said rr62x) and nag their support for updated drivers.

If that too failed, you might wanna look around the web for " ioDrive2". It seems to be a while label product and i have found versions from cisco, dell and Hp so far. Edit3: and Supermicro

edit: the driver seems to be called "iomemory-vsl" , a quick web-search revealed fujitsu drivers for at lest kernel 3.6

not sure, but you could try building it from source:

iomemory-vsl-3.2.9.1461/root/usr/src
make
make install

and hope it supports the 4.x kernel.
 
Bummer, exact same error...

I did miss some other errors above that though (there were there last time, I just didn't notice):

Regarding the raid storage for the other issue:
