Hello First time that I have to build a rpm so, maybe the following error will be easy to fix … I tried to build drbd rpms for a **SLES 12 SP5** (I don’t have access to the HA repo with official delivery), here is what I’ve done: 1. On my “production server”, download sources from Linbit (drbd-9.0.24-1 and utils 9.0.3). 2. deploy the tar.gz files under /usr/src/package/SOURCES 3. for drbd-9.0.24-1 : go to the directory, add some lines in drbd-kernel.spec > ``` > %files > %defattr(-,root,root,-) > /lib/modules/4.12.14-122.63-default/updates/drbd.ko > /lib/modules/4.12.14-122.63-default/updates/drbd_transport_tcp.ko > > ``` 1. make a rpmbuild -ba drbd-kernel.spec =\> no issue displayed, 2 rpms were created 2. for utils : go to the directory, launch ./autogen and ./configure --enable-spec 3. make a rpmbuild -ba drbd.spec =\> no issue, 8 rpms created Here is the list of created RPMs: drbd-9.3.0-1.x86\_64.rpm drbd-man-ja-9.3.0-1.x86\_64.rpm drbd-bash-completion-9.3.0-1.x86\_64.rpm drbd-pacemaker-9.3.0-1.x86\_64.rpm drbd-heartbeat-9.3.0-1.x86\_64.rpm drbd-udev-9.3.0-1.x86\_64.rpm drbd-kernel-9.0.24-1.x86\_64.rpm drbd-utils-9.3.0-1.x86\_64.rpm drbd-kmp-default-9.0.24\_k4.12.14\_122.63-1.x86\_64.rpm drbd-xen-9.3.0-1.x86\_64.rpm So, I uploaded these rpms on my test server, created a repo for zypper and tried a _zypper in drbd-kernel_ and _zypper in drbd_ During the second command, I had warning messages : \> (2/6) Installing: drbd-kmp-default-9.0.24\_k4.12.14\_122.63-1.x86\_64 […done] > ``` > Additional rpm output: > WARNING: drbd-kmp-default-9.0.24_k4.12.14_122.63-1 does not contain any kernel modules > cat: /var/tmp/weak-modules2.veGkOx/krel-drbd-kmp-default-9.0.24_k4.12.14_122.63-1: No such file or directory > /usr/lib/module-init-tools/weak-modules2: line 89: /var/tmp/weak-modules2.veGkOx/modules-drbd-kmp-default-9.0.24_k4.12.14_122.63-1: No such file or directory > /usr/lib/module-init-tools/weak-modules2: line 488: /var/tmp/weak-modules2.veGkOx/basenames-drbd-kmp-default-9.0.24_k4.12.14_122.63-1: No such file or directory > warning: %post(drbd-kmp-default-9.0.24_k4.12.14_122.63-1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 > > ``` If I look at lsmod, drbd is not here, if I try a drbdadm status, I have the error : \> modinfo: ERROR: Module drbd not found. > ``` > modprobe: FATAL: Module drbd not found in directory /lib/modules/ **4.12.14-122.60-default** > Failed to modprobe drbd (No such file or directory) > > ``` When I search for drbd.ko, I found it but under another kernel : /lib/modules/ **4.12.14-122.63-default** /updates/drbd.ko If I try : insmod /lib/modules/4.12.14-122.63-default/updates/drbd.ko, I have an error : \> insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/4.12.14-122.63-default/updates/drbd.ko: Unknown symbol in module in dmesg, I saw the error `drbd: Unknown symbol crc32c (err 0)` So, I miss something… ---

Thanks Andreas Not sure to understand why you suggest to remove the step 5 : without making the couple autogen/configure --enable-specs, I won’t have the drbd.spec file to build the rpm. However, I will search a version for my current kernel to go on. I have another solution : compile and install directly from source for each deployment, it’s less “pretty” but it works.
