Re: Trouble with a Adaptec 2010S RAID PCI adapter

[Andre Correa <andre.correa@pobox.com>]

Salyzn tks for the info. Following it I found the thread:  [patch 1/1] 
Get I2O working with Adaptec's zero channel controllers, 
(http://groups.google.com/groups?q=2010s+group:mlist.linux.scsi&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=mlist.linux.scsi&selm=linux.scsi.200405290713.i4T7Dxr25622%40mail.osdl.org&rnum=1) 
  where the patch is posted. The thread is really unanswered and the 
patch is the same from  http://i2o.shadowconnect.com where it is called 
i2o-adaptec-zerochannel-support.patch

I already had it applied to my kernel and couldn't make the adapter work.

I'll have a look on dpt_i2o...

Anyway, my results are that this patch is not working for a Adaptec 
2010S card. I'm copying Mr Andrew Morton who first posted the patch so 
he gets aware of it. (sorry if you get it doubled, I don't know if you 
are at linux-raid).

tks for your attention...

Andre
