drbd ebuild emerged fine, but I can't the drbd module (any 8.x.x version is impacted). I see in logs: "drbd: cn_drbd failed to register". It doesn't occur with a sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r10 or a sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.25.14. I tried a sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.23-r8 and a sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r7 without success. It seems to be version/patchs dependent (only gentoo sources impacted after a certain release), and somewhat kernel configuration dependent (see gentoo forum URL given). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Configure a kernel starting with the .config attached to this report, boot on this kernel 2.emerge drbd and drbd-kernel (version 8.0.12 or 8.2.6) 3.try to modprobe drbd Actual Results: # modprobe drbd FATAL: Error inserting drbd (/lib/modules/2.6.23-gentoo-r8/block/drbd.ko): Invalid argument In dmesg (following version): drbdcn_drbd failed to register or drbd: cn_drbd failed to register Expected Results: In dmesg when module is loaded: drbd: initialised.
