I have merged the changes from linux 2.4.19 and 2.5.45. ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/roudier/drivers/linux/stable/sym-2.1.19-pre3-for-= linux-2.4.19.tar.gz (Not sure the URL is full correct, but it shouldn't this wrong... :-)) There is also some code from me that has been added. ;) Here is the ChangeLog addition: - Merge changes from linux-2.4.19 and linux-2.5.45. Rearrange the code for the source to compile and run on both Linux versions + some rewrites for the code to look good to me ;). - Add enough #if's for the smp locking to be source compatible for both Linux branches. - Move all the nvram related definitions to a separate header file and add the code that allows to write to the NVRAM. - Rearrange the code in function sym_snooptest(). - Test against DMA ressource shortage and return error condition if such happens (the scatter code has been slightly rewritten). - Add a new errata work-around for all C10*0 chips (SCNTL3 register must not be altered when REQs occurs on the SCSI BUS). A copy of the 'select' table (alt_sel) has been added in the CCB for this work-around. - A couple of minor changes + some typo fixes. The code should also compile and run under Linux 2.5.45. I don't know f= or now if it is compatible with any prior or further 2.5 branch kernel version. I will resync with current linux SCSI as soon as I will have t= ime for. You may let me know if you encounter problems with this new driver version. Thanks.
