latest 2.6 patch for dpt_i20 driver

[Karen Shaeffer]

Hi,

I have access to several Adaptec I2O RAID controllers and am interested in
running linux-2.6.x kernels in this lab for testing purposes. Will someone
please advise me on where to find the most up to date patch(es) for this
driver. Thanks in advance.

I managed to get dpt_i2o working with kernel 2.6.1-rc2. 

First of it all, it's still risky to do it. But here is how:

get Mark's patch -> 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=107210932819564&w=2

Hack the ./drivers/scsi/dpt_i2o.c and remove all references to the
access_count member. 

The access_count member doesnt exist anymore but is it still included in
the shipped dpt_i2o.c file. I googled some changelogs and it appears to
be removed in a 2.5.x kernel, but correct me if i am wrong. 

it's q&d but it works so far ;)

Compile & boot :)


I enabled bigmem (4GB) and didnt encounter any problems yet. I have to
do some benchmarks bonnie/postal to get a high load for a couple of
hours. Just to make sure it doesnt die ;)

Thanks for your comments.

I actually got the latest patch from Mark over at Adaptec. This patch wraps
all the access_count references in ifdefs, so I didn't have to make any
modifications. It compiled and runs as is.

Thanks again,
Karen
