You likely are using a drbd module compiled against RHEL 6.2 kernel
headers on a RHEL 6.3 kernel, and you are 32bit.

Does not work, but be happy that you did not try it the other way
around: trying to modprobe a drbd compiled against 6.3  headers
on a 32bit 6.2 kernel will panic the box...

They "pretend" to have a stable kABI,
but still they break occasionally.

At least they try harder to keep that kABI stable within a sub-release.


Sorry, but there is not much we can do.

Please install a kmod-drbd that is matching your kernel,
or compile yourself against matching kernel headers.
