When starting dellmgr, the following error occurs... ERROR: failed to determine device node major number The script is looking in /proc/devices for '[[:space:]]megadev$' which no longer exists. The name is now "megadev_legacy". Changing the script to look for '[[:space:]]megadev_legacy$' causes the script to complete and start the dellmgr.bin, but the following text box pops up in the window. No Adapters Found Press any key to exit This version of dellmgr worked before upgrading the kernel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ensure system/kernel is the most recent 2. run /usr/sbin/dellmgr

The name is now "megadev_legacy". With what kernel version did it work before? Can you please post the old and new .config?

Can you please try dellmgr-5.32-r1 that I've just committed?

I upgraded from 2.6.23-r9 to 2.6.27-r8 and experienced this same problem.
Does this have anything to do with the "LSI MegaRaid Kernel Management Module", which was added over those kernel versions? There is also the question of the new MegaRaid driver which wasn't there before. Both dellmgr and megamgr have broken.
Dellmgr 5.31 seems to work without finding megadev in /proc/devices. On kernel 2.6.30 udev created /dev/megadev0. I had trouble with 'percsnmpd' though: same old dependency on /proc/devices. I patched it to just look for and symlink /dev/megadev0 instead of groping /proc/devices and creating a new device node.
