Hello and thank you for all your hard work. I have been trying to patch 2.2.16 kernels for two days now and have had little success with the 2000-06-16 patch. Using the 2.2.216-9mdk release my Adaptec 8945 is never found and has build errors due to the source being only i386. On the 2.2.16 from kernel.org, I still don't find the card although the compile goes fine. I still just get the no adapters found message in /var/log. The card does work under win98 and the SCSI portion is running my 3 drive md0 RAID0 array which works great. I don't really need over 3.7MB per second, but the contiguous space is nice. Is there some dependency I could be missing? I have seen nothing about it so far. Unless I missed something, it makes no difference whether I make the drivers modules or not. What is preferred? I am dl'ing a 2.4.0-test9 kernel at the moment, please let me know what you recommend. As for my background, I am a technician for MicroSearch in Houston. I build NT based video editing systems and do light programming on the side. I have access to just about any 1394 card and many cameras for testing by simply borrowing one from the office. I hope to contribute in any way I can. Thanks, John Perkins Houston Texas |
