Description
Error Message
Starting vxfen..
Loaded 2.6.18-8.el5 on kernel 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5
WARNING: No modules found for 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5, using compatible modules for 2.6.18-8.el5.
Starting vxfen.. Done
Cause
These warning messages are displayed because the corresponding package for the module does not contain modules compiled for the exact kernel version, in which case the module-load algorithm tries to find the best-fit module (which is kABI compatible with the current Kernel) and load it.
Resolution
The messages can be safely ignored if a compatible module is found.
Applies To
RHEL
Issue/Introduction
Concerns were raised due to the warning message at the start of the vxfen driver.
