Problem: SCSI (initio 9100u) and kernel 2.5.24

Problem: SCSI (initio 9100u) and kernel 2.5.24

[Uwe Ziegler]

hello,
i tried to compile the new 2.5.24 kernel with modular scsi-support for
initio 9100u on my suse 7.3 system
with a standard ftp-update from suse, too.(don´t beat - lfs comes with dsl
;-)
i didn´t found a notice in kernel.org related sites about this behaviour.
compiling stops with the following messages:

......
# ini9100u.c : 111 : # error Please convert me to
Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt
# ini9100u.c : In funktion ´i91uBuildSCB` :
# ini9100u.c : 494 : structure has no member named ´address`
# ini9100u.c : 503 : structure has no member named ´address`
.......

sorry, i´m a stupid beginner, but if my brain doesn´t suck me, it looks more
like a missing declaration, then
a missing bracked. The whole file contains the variable "address" only 2x,
just in the lines described above.
Or does "address" come from the environment?
This problem is too difficult for me, but i´m intrested in the solution,
when this message becomes a tread.

thx
uwe ziegler

May the brain be with you
and good ideas - forever!

I'm trying to finalise my changes to the initio a100 driver.  This one is 
next on my list.  I'll probably have a first cut of a patch for this 
within a few days, maybe sometime early next week.

I haven't spent a lot of time looking at it yet, but if it's as close to 
the a100 driver as I think it is, I may end up just merging both of the 
drivers into one "drives all initio cards" driver.  At first glance, these 
two drivers appear to damn near be duplicates of each other...
