安装rpm后加载模块

Question

I have a custom driver which I need to install during Driver Disk update as part of Linux(RHEL) installation. Once the module is loaded, I want ahci module to be loaded automatically.
For this purpose, I have added rpm -ivh kmod-ahci-xxxx.rpm in the post install scriptlet of my custom driver rpm file.
Followed by which I added modprobe ahci .

But ahci module is still not getting loaded.

What should be the exact steps?

Answer 1

That is not the way to install other dependencies. You should add:

 Requires: kmod-ahci

in the spec file of your "custom driver rpm". If you are the one to generate the kmod-ahci rpm; I would suggest you add the modprobe ahci in the post install script of that rpm.

What concerns your question why the ahci module doesn't get loaded; I don't know like this. You should first try performing the steps by hand before packaging them in an rpm; So I would try doing manually:

rpm -ivh kmod-ahci-xxxx.rpm
modprobe ahci

and then check whether ahci is loaded or not; and if not search the reason why...
