Gibbs" , linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org I'm not sure to whom I should be addressing this, but it seems that Justin Gibbs is one of those people. I've been trying to get the aic79xx driver working in 2.4.19 without success. I'll clarify: I've extracted the source tarfile into the kernel dist directory, config'd the module to build, built it, installed it, etc. I've gotten far enough that I can get the kernel to boot with it, and it seems to see the controller, however, I cannot get it to find the root partition. I have had success using redhat and the driver diskette. The hardware is an aic7902, integrated onto a Supermicro X5DA8. >>From what I could find on the archives, it seemed like a patch might be needed to get a vanilla kernel up&running with the aic79xx driver. Is this right? If so, where might that patch be? I have more questions and possibly a bug, but would like to find the proper people to speak with before burdening the list with tons of data. -Roberto J Peon robertopeon@sportvision.com
