I upgraded my 2.0rc1 today to 2.0 final and it went off without a hitch. Awesome job guys!!!

I setup my system to run with /boot on a usb stick and everything else on a Raid10 MD array (this is a development system, I know the pitfalls of running this way, but God is it fast)

The last thing I want to get working is that I want to get my Rocket Raid 2642 card working in proxmox so that I can save backups to external drives. Does anyone have the rr26xx.ko file for the 2.0 final kernel compiled yet? If not then how might I go about compiling it on the system? I tried to install gcc and it said there was no installation canidate.

Thanks for any info in this last hurdle.

Hi,
do you forgot an "apt-get update"?

gcc is there (of course not installed on a stadard pve-installation):
Code: 
# dpkg -l | grep gcc
ii  gcc                                  4:4.4.5-1                          The GNU C compiler
ii  gcc-4.3                              4.3.5-4                            The GNU C compiler
ii  gcc-4.3-base                         4.3.5-4                            The GNU Compiler Collection (base package)
ii  gcc-4.4                              4.4.5-8                            The GNU C compiler
ii  gcc-4.4-base                         4.4.5-8                            The GNU Compiler Collection (base package)
ii  libgcc1                              1:4.4.5-8                          GCC support library

I compiled it and it works fine. You will need to install the kernel source and dev tools to compile it.apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential libtool linux-source linux-kernel-headersDownload the driver source from http://www.highpoint-tech.cn/BIOS_Driver/rr26xx/264x/rr2640-linux-src-v1.2-090925-0932.tar.gzUnpack it and cd to ~/rr2640-linux-src-v1.2/product/rr2640/linuxThen enter make, and you will have the .ko module in the same dir. make install will install it under /lib/modules/.... and update initrd.

So when I do the apt-get update I get:

and I see gcc is installed:
Code: 
root@fishtank:~# dpkg -l | grep gcc
ii  gcc-4.4-base                    4.4.5-8                      The GNU Compiler Collection (base package)
ii  libgcc1                         1:4.4.5-8                    GCC support library

Then when I try to install the stuff I need to compile the driver:
Code: 
root@fishtank:/etc/apt# apt-get install build-essential libtool linux-source linux-kernel-headers
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'linux-libc-dev' instead of 'linux-kernel-headers'
Package linux-source is a virtual package provided by:
  linux-source-2.6.32 2.6.32-41squeeze2
  linux-source-2.6 1:2.6.32+29
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package 'linux-source' has no installation candidate

So which one should I install linux-source-2.6.32 2.6.32-41squeeze2 or linux-source-2.6 1:2.6.32+29 please?

That worked great. I downloaded the driver source and compiled it and modprobed it

Code: 
rr26xx: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
rr26xx:RocketRAID 26xx controller driver v1.2 (Apr 11 2012 15:42:09)
pci 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
pci 0000:01:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
rr26xx:adapter at PCI 1:0:0, IRQ 16
scsi5 : rr26xx

One thing I see now that there seems to be a newer version out for these cards.

rr2640-linux-src-v1.3-legacy_single

Would that be a better choice to compile and use?

Unless you are having problems with the current driver and a specific fix is in the change log, I wouldn't bother. If it's not broke....
