Dav, I had the same problem trying to compile the kernel module on Fedora Core 5. After some searching I found that the set_wmb macro they use in their code was removed from the kernel source. see http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0607.1/2647.html for instance.

I got the module to compile on FC5 by this procedure:

1. go to /var/lib/dkms/snapapi26/0.7.4/source/ and add this line after the last #define line of snapapi.h and snumbd.h

#define set_wmb(var, value) { var = value; wmb(); }

2. compile using dkms:

dkms build -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.4

3. install using dkms:

dkms install -m snapapi26 -v 0.7.4

Hope this helps! Btw acronis, do I get a freebie for answering this question!?

 

Warning! This seems to work but I/O was extremely SLOW when trying to build a USB rescue device. something like 16k/sec. Can you take a look at this and see what needs to be updated on this device driver to get it working in newer kernels

 

You helped me out big time! Very smart of you...

Thanks!

 

Hello mshuttle,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Remote Server Backup Software.

We are sorry for the delayed response.

Please be aware that as I stated in this previous thread (post #4) you are using an old build of Acronis True Image 9.1 Enterprise Server. To solve the issue please follow the instructions provided in the above post.
