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>):
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/linux/SRC/
<http://people.FreeBSD.org/%7Egibbs/linux/SRC/>
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.

The latest source on my site is for aic7xxx 6.3.4 and aic79xx 2.0.4.
Are you referring to these versions? Have you tried the pre-built
drivers for this kernel which are also on my site?

I got this tarball from your website: aic79xx-linux-2.4-20031106-tar.gz.
I untarred on top on my private 2.4.20-8 kernel tree. Should I have
deleted the aic7xxx directory before I did this?
I did use an older version of the binary driver RPM. I faced versioning
problems at the RPM install script level and (if I did a manual install
of the binary in /lib/modules/2.4.20-8custom) the kernel versioning
problem. This driver works fine with standard RH kernels though.
I am hoping for a solution that will enable me to have a super-kernel
that will run on multiple H/W configurations without hacking on init
scripts. That's why I am interested in getting the driver build and
install properly from sources.
Thanks,
L.
P.S. This info comes from the same machine when booted with stock RH
2.4.20-8. /proc/scsi/0:
Adaptec AIC79xx driver version: 1.3.10
Adaptec AIC7902 Ultra320 SCSI adapter
aic7902: Ultra320 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, PCI-X 101-133Mhz, 512 SCBs
Allocated SCBs: 32, SG List Length: 102
...

It probably makes little difference so long as you get rid of all of the
.o and .???.flags files in that directory.

Yes. Module versioning means that these binaries will not function on
anything but stock kernels.
Can you provide all of the messages that the driver outputs? A dmesg
from a running system would be useful too.
