Server not backing up after ASL 5.0 upgrade

Hello to all,

We use R1Soft backup-up software to backup our ASL-protected server.

After the automatic upgrade to ASL 5.0, the server stopped loading the RISoft kernel module, even thought it is specified to load in the /etc/rc.d/rc3.d S97 level

I suspect I need to recompile the r1soft module with ASL new kernel headers.

Where can I find the ASL kernel headers?

Any ideas on how to solve this problem fast?

Also, how can I tell ASL not to modify my rc.d files? It does it after some time and it's a bit annoying ;(

Thanks,

Is their module compatible with the kernel you are using?

Their kernel module isnt included in the Linux kernel, so we dont include it (although if they dont object to use including it we'd could do that). Regardless, you are correct that uou'll have to compile it for whatever kernel you use.

yum install kernel-asl-devel

ASL does not modify rc.d or init.d files.

Code: Select all

yum install kernel-asl-devel
That did the trick, thanks.
I was doing "yum install kernel-devel" and getting nowhere.
ASL does not modify rc.d or init.d files
Sorry, it does not modify the files.
It renames our S97cdp-agent to S99cdp-agent in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
So driver does not get loaded. If we need to reboot, we loose the backups module from kernel ;(

Regards,

We dont do that either, are you sure something else isnt moving it?
