[linux-lvm] Installing LVM on s/390 redhat 7.2 2.4.7-39

[jrelist at ntlworld.com]

Peter

I followed the instructions from the LVM how-to to do the configuration and patch. To be safe, each time I tried I re-installed the kernel-source & header rpms (Saving my .config beforehand) then amending the kernel extension in the Makefile before configure / patching, then went through the process in the r/h doc

make mrproper
make config   (actually xconfig)
make clean
make image
make modules

which would all work very nicely

then make modules_install which would always give the error.
I tried it with config_modversions on and off in the config, no joy. 

I'll try getting the version you have. You mention timer patches - are they significant ? Also, those depmods that cause problems - do you know of anywhere else I might locate them or might need to do during the building of the patch to get them ?

Thanks

John
