Re: Reproducible SCSI Error with Adaptec 7902

[Terry Barnaby <terry@beam.ltd.uk>]

Hi Justin,

Thanks for the info.
We were using these drivers as:

1. The 1.0.0 driver is as used in the Stock Redhat 7.3 release (updated
	to current updates).
2. The 1.1.0 driver is on the Adaptec web site for Linux and is I 		 
believe the one shipped on there CDROM for the on-board 7902
	controller.

We were not aware of a later driver.
For future reference, where should we go to find the latest drivers
for any device for the linux 2.4.x kernel ?

Do you know if the latest driver at 
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/linux/RPM/aic79xx/
might fix this problem ?

Cheers

Terry
