Hi,

Has any one succeeded in running the latest  sources with RH9 (2.4.20-8) 
kernel? Specifically, these are the sources sent out by Justin T. Gibbs 
<http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=author:gibbs%40scsiguy.com+> 
(gibbs@scsiguy.com <mailto:gibbs%40scsiguy.com>):

In my case the driver loads fine, but it takes a while to initialize(?). 
I get errors like:
scsi0: Host status: Failed(0)
...

The kernel boots fine, and the rc scripts are run fine and the console 
prompt shows fine. However, the console is locked. I cannot type 
anything there.  I can ssh/telnet to the machine. The disks seem to be 
accessed fine. However, I get the same errors from the driver on shutdown.

So before I waste my time and (more importantly) yours, does this sound 
familiar or did I miss something in the compile. I will send a more 
complete screen dump if anyone is interested.

Thanks a lot,

L.
