I see the "new" qla2xxx drivers in their own directory: drivers/scsi/qla2xxx in linux-ia64-2.4 bk tree. > It looks like at least the ql2xxx stuff is (a) not in the 2.5 > tree, I thought for 2.5.x someone was maintaining an 8.x qla FC driver which was in parallel with qla2xxx 6.x FC drivers maintained by qlogic. I'm not sure what happened here since I don't see it in David's linux-ia64-2.5 bk tree. > and (b) not in Red Hat kernels. Red Hat Advanced Server kernels have qla2xxx FC support someplace. I'll try to unpack a recent ia64 RHAS kernel and see where it's hiding if no one else knows off hand. > So who cares about this stuff? AFAIK, HP doesn't care about "old" FC qla drivers on ia64. IIRC, i2000 support has qla1280 and HP should support that. HP cares more about new qlogic FC drivers. e.g.: scsi6 : QLogic QLA2312 PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter: bus 128 device 1 irq 62 Firmware version: 3.01.18, Driver version 6.04.00 (HP will actually need a post release of 6.05) > If I dropped it out of the ia64 patch, would anybody be upset enough > to help sort this out? If necessary, I can organize help in-house. thanks, grant
