If its not going to be ported, I guess we should add a sentence to the help text of CONFIG_SCSI_BUSLOGIC so people like me don't think its a bug. Something like "Flashpoint Host Adapter support is only available on x86 but not on x86_64 systems." Would one of you please submit such a patch? I've never submitted a kernel patch and don't know how to do it. Ulrich
