Hi Bernard:
As you said, the computer nodes are booted by
SystemImager
kernel(boel2.4.25). I have downloaded the linux-2.4.25.tar.gz
from
kernel.org and read the README.aic79xx in it. The Adaptec SCSI
card
39320(b) is not included in the supported hardware. This may
explain
why the aic79xx.o in SystemImager kernel couldn't setup my scsi
card.
How can I resolve this problem? (recompile the 2.4.25kernel with
the
newer scsi drivers source code, then replace the old aic79xx.o
with
the new one, is it feasible? Anyway, I will try it.)
Or, where can I
get the prototype tool?
Best Regards
Kevin Zeng
