OMSA + Openipmi - ipmi_devintf unknown symbol compat_alloc_user_space

[Chris Lynch]

Hi,

I've been installing OMSA, mpt-status and lsiutils on my Ubuntu 
8.04.4LTS servers. On most server the install went with no issues and I 
can run the commands to check the status of my HW Raid. But on 4 servers 
so far I am unable to start dataeng because of the following


*Starting System Management Device Driver
Starting ipmi drivers **** - that RED asterisk implies an problem,

when I check the syslog,kern.log and messages they all have the 
following error

*ipmi_devintf: Unknown symbol compat_alloc_user_space

*I issue *sudo modprobe ipmi_devintf* and I get
* FATAL: Error inserting ipmi_devintf 
(/lib/modules/2.6.24-28-server/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_devintf.ko): Unknown 
symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

*It seems to fail to add the module the strangest thing is that I have 
installed on other servers with the exact same kernel, I've also got in 
installed on server with Kernel version *.6.24-27-server & 
**.6.24-24-server. *The four servers causing the problem so far are all 
*2.6.24-28-server*
