mikerm Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone won't mind taking a few minutes to take a look at my particular situation. I inherited a nice Micron P420m PCIe SSD (It's seen as: 1a:00.0 Mass storage controller: Micron Technology Inc RealSSD P420m (rev 03)), but the support for it isn't built into the kernel by default. The goal would be use it as the cache drive, I hope. Micron does have modules that are pre-compiled for Ubuntu, RedHat, vmware, Xen, etc, but not for Slackware. I tried to insmod some of those but they are not in the right format it seems. They do also have the source that I can grab out of an rpm, which I did on one of my other Linux boxes. I looked around and found a thread that helped install the tools to build the module with but it immediately errors out (even after make clean). make -C /lib/modules/4.9.10-unRAID/build M=/root/mtip32xx-3.8.1 modules make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-4.9.10-unRAID' make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'modules'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-4.9.10-unRAID' make: *** [Makefile:18: modules] Error 2 Now I'm starting to get out of my knowledge with Linux and compiling things, and I have very little experience with Slackware at all. I did some searching around the forums and couldn't find anything else related. Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to go from here? Gosh, I think I put this in the wrong forum, can someone move it for me? Edited March 12, 2017 by mikerm Quote Link to comment
RobJ Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I can't help with the compiling, but if you contact Tom at [email protected] and specify what you need and the code you have found, he will probably add support to an upcoming release. Quote Link to comment
limetech Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Sure we'll include this driver in the next kernel build. Quote Link to comment
