Starting targetcli-fb breaks with unknown parameter in target_core_mod. Kernel configuration like in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ISCSI/Target Asking for crc_t10dif. Trying to resolve especially a logic behind SCSI_LPFC [=m] && SCSI_LOWLEVEL [=y] && PCI [=y] && SCSI [=y] && CPU_FREQ [=y] && SCSI_FC_ATTRS [=m] && (NVME_TARGET_FC [=n] || NVME_TARGET_FC [=n]=n) && ( NVME_FC [=m] || NVME_FC [=m]=n) in kernel config Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge targetcli-fb 2. select kernel modules from https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ISCSI/Target 3. run targetcli 4. get dmesg Actual Results: abenakit /usr/src/linux # targetcli b"modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'target_core_mod': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)\n" abenakit /usr/src/linux # dmesg | tail -n 2 [ 9383.623134] target_core_mod: Unknown symbol crc_t10dif (err -2) [ 9383.623273] target_core_mod: Unknown symbol crc_t10dif_update (err -2) Expected Results: targetcli runs (&& / ||) modprobe target_core_mod loads (&& / ||) kernel parameter CONFIG_CRC_T10DIF (NVME_TARGET_FC [=n] || NVME_TARGET_FC [=n]=n) && ( NVME_FC [=m] || NVME_FC [=m]=n) can be configured to make CONFIG_CRC_T10DIF: a known symbol in the target_core_mod I am not sure where to post this if this is a kernel topic or a targetcli-fb. I dont need the FibreChannel Drivers neither the nvme but somehow the module seems to depend on them. Or maybe I am just missing out on an easy way to configure this set of the kernel sources.

It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3]. I asssigned the ticket, please try to find out more details on one of the mentioned channels [4] and report the important findings here.

Thanks I will try there. I gave genkernel a run and it is definetly a problem on my understanding of the kernel config. With genkernel the modules are compiled and I am able to start targetcli as the target_core modules loads also the t10_dif. So it is _not_ a bug. Sorry for bringing it up here. If you want to close this issue feel free. Anyhow as soon as I know which param is blocking the selection of the t10_dif module I will post it here if anybody else runs into this and/or confusion. Greetings
Hi Stefan, could you find out more so that we can fix/close this one?
