Hello,
I have several "servers" using old mylex DAC960P scsi raid adapter.
So I though clever to install redhat 7.2 on them ...
redhat 7.2 does install and run well with the 2.4.7-10 kernel from the
distribution, but when I try upgrading to 2.4.9-13 (via rpm) it does not boot,
there is a problem with resolving ext3fs symbols ... this is more a RedHat
problem, but read on :-)
I choosed to compile a customized kernel with only what I need inside kernel
(ext3fs, dac960, ..) plus some modules I might need some day.
I tried compiling 2.4.14 => my mylex card is not detected !
(driver dac960 version 2.4.11 from 11 october 2001)
I tried with 2.4.9-13 from redhat => same problem
(driver dac960 version 2.4.10 from 23 july 2001)
I tried custom 2.4.7-10 from redhat => works like a charm
(driver dac960 version 2.4.10 from 1 february 2001)
all these kernels were compiled with the same .config (make oldconfig)
hardware used:
DAC960P-2, D040351-0-IBM REV.E firmware 3.51-0-04
detected like this by kernel 2.4.7-10:
DAC960: ***** DAC960 RAID Driver Version 2.4.10 of 1 February 2001 *****

I am insterested in any clue, since I am stuck to 2.4.7 for now ...
linux-kernel readers, please cc me on replies since I am not subscribed

Hmmm. Nothing you've described makes any sense to me as I don't believe the
driver has changed in a way that would break the basic detection of the boards.
When you say that the card is not detected, precisely what do you mean? Does
the driver report anything at all?
