Hello,

I've compiled the Linux 2.6.8 kernel (Debian Sarge version) with the
updated aic79xx drivers from Just Gibbs' web site which has allowed me to
now see disks while in HostRAID mode.  What is the next step to see the
logical RAID device instead of the disks?  I understand that the Linux
kernel needs to understand the Adaptec metadata on the disk.  I've tried
applying the rather dated emd diffs (emd-2.6-20040425-diffs.gz) to this
kernel without success.

Thanks,
Tim

Adding support to 'dmraid' for the vendor-proprietary format would be 
the next step.
