Just to mention it, I tried this driver on our Alpha with 2.4.27 (with
the mentioned patch), and it runs rock stable, at least after the
first 24 hours. This finally solved my problems with md raid1 on the
1020, see posting <ujcwty6lp0n.fsf@nfsd.linpro.no>,
"oops in qlogicisp.c when running 2.4.27 with md RAID1 on Alpha".
The driver was patched upon 3.24.3 (stolen from kernel 2.6.8.1) and
compiles easily on kernel 2.4.27 with some minor updates in
include/asm-alpha/io.h. It is also a lot more stable than the infamous
feral driver.
Thanks guys, this really made my day.
Norbert, could this be something for the Debian alpha kernels?
