No module sym53c8xx found for kernel 2.6.1

Hi there,

I try to compile the 2.6.1 kernel downloaded from www.kernel.org.

Everything seems ok until I give the "make install" command when I got the following message:

[root@fuji linux-2.6.1]# make install
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
CHK include/linux/compile.h
Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready
sh /root/linux-2.6.1/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.1 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map "" No module sym53c8xx found for kernel 2.6.1
mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2

The module sym53c8xx is in the linux-2.6.1/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2 directory but it seems that there is some problem with it.

Does anyone know what to do in order to get the new kernel working?

Thank you,
Laszlo

Is your mkinitrd script ready to install 2.6? Check Documentation/Changes for any necessary tool updates.

and the sym53c8xx driver was removed IIRC.
Use sym53c8xx_2 instead.
